A nice fit size wise but you gain little in reduced weight or length and lose in FOV. That's a compromise I personally am not willing to make for the small gain in reduced weight and length. Full sized 2-7 are within an ounce or two in weight and an inch or so in length and offer a wider FOV and usually greater eye relief as well. I use the compacts on rimfires only myself.

Rusty75, I have a stainless synthetic #7 in 260 rem. It wears a leupold  2x7 varix 2. Current production. Fits and works great for me here in southeast Alaska. Regards, Byron
