  I've noticed if I mount a scope forward enough,which I don't do,I could eliminate tunnel effect in any of my scopes except one.  I've noticed as little tunnel effect with my 2-7 Viper at 4X as I do with my 4X Conquest.  So yea Pyro I notice some with the 2-7 Viper as with most scopes I've looked through and use/used. But if you have yours mounted far enough forward you just may not be noticeing it.  But I tell you what.  My M8 2.5x20 doesn't have any T/E and if I happen to get in some awkward shooting position I find I lose part of the image. I find that kind of annoying. I don't notice this with scopes having some T/E (I don't like alot of it) so TO ME I like some but not too much and I find it a bit of an advantage.  Just observations from my experiences and what I LIKE in a scope for the way I use it.  One of the most critical features I look for in a scope is edge to edge image clearity.  The edges being blurry or wavy as I move on target is one thing I can't handle.

i had to turn mine side ways to make it happen, just looking through the scope like you would do normally on any power i couldnt make it happen, even on 2x where i suspect the chances of this occurring would be at their greatest.

Noob here and just wanted to say that I ordered one of these today based upon this thread. The C3 reticle looked to be what would work best for fast acquisition at closer ranges with a M1A Scout. I will let you know how it works for me when I get it.

Have they clammed up?

We have asked several times on numerous threads about that issue.  Still every time no response.  I don't think they actually know yet if it has a future and that may be why we haven't been told.  Dont' get me wrong, Scott and Sam are both A+ guys and normally fast responders but this issue is been avoided.

 Probably right.  And ANOTHER low range variable bites the dust.  As for the C3?  I don't know if I'd be interested in a scope of more than 3X on the low X with one.

anybody know why they are doing away with the 2x7 it seems to have some popularity on the forum and a good scope.  With all of the hype I had to buy one at that price.  I went with the standard reticle.  I think most buy 40 and 50mm objectives these days.  I think the perception is that the smaller objectives just wont be bright enough.

  The sales numbers just aren't there evidently.  +1 to the rest of what you said.
