My Vortex Viper 2-7x32 just arrived today.  I ran home at lunch and played with it.  I even put it on my rifle.  What a great scope for the money.  Christmas came early this year.  I just want to thank everyone that has been recommending this scope and SWFA for getting it out so quickly.  I had a vari x II that I bought for about the same price and its no where the quality and clarity.  I wish I had the money to buy a few more just to hold back for future projects.

It is a nice little scope, especially at this price.

Glad you are happy with it.  I just don't like the 2-7 concept.  Thought long and hard of getting one, but just thought 2.5-10, if I am looking for something low powered, is much more suitable for me.  Not downing your choice at all... many like the 2-7, I just can't see the piont in it. 
Let us know how it works out for you.  I am interested.

I have always liked the idea of the 2.5-10.  Its seems like the perfect all around magnification range.    I have one on a rem 700 in 300 win mag.  The 2-7's are lighter and shorter, ie more compact, unless of course you compare it to the sightron compact 2.5-10 which does not have as good of glass.  I was actually considering one of those but this was $100 cheaper and the glass was a little better.  I put it on a savage 110 in 30-06 which is considerably lighter than my 700.  It balances with the 110 perfectly.
