Scope for .375 H&H????

[gander215]

Just recently bought a .375H&H barrel for my T/C. My question is....what power to match the balistics and what brand will hold-up to the extremly "light" recoil? Not looking to spend >$300. -BB

You definately want something with a little bit of eye relief, lol. I think that for the price range that you're talking about you're gonna need to look at either a Bushnell elite 3200 or a Nikon Buckmaster. I'm not sure if you have a particular reticle or other features that you like, but you should be able to find what you like in those rifles. I have never owned a .375 H&H, but I shoot some pretty heavy recoiling rifles, usually a .300 winmag with the 180 grain bullets or heavier. Not quite a .375, but it's no sissy either. I like the bushnell elite 3200 alot, and think it's probably some of the best glass that you can get for that price range, but I know lots of guys who like the Nikon Buckmaster's better. Give both of them a look and see what you think.

Low power 1-4 or 1.5-6 etc. Anything your going to shoot with a .375H&H should be big and could possible eat you. The low power is for the field of view close right before it eats you. Longer range and minute-o-lion, tiger or bear is all that’s required.

Under $300
-Leupold 1-4x20 VX-II Riflescope Matte Duplex 1" Multi-Coat 4 Lens System $299.95

+$100 Step up to a VX-III

-Leupold 1.5-5x20 VX-III Riflescope Gloss Heavy Duplex 1" Index Matched Lens System $399.95
Or
-Leupold 1.75-6x32 VX-III Riflescope Gloss Heavy Duplex 1" Index Matched Lens System $399.95

It’s hard to beat a American made scope with a Full Lifetime Guarantee that isn’t going anywhere or going to be bought and will not honor the old products.

Add the old Leupold straight 3 power, if you can find one. It is about as recoil proof a scope as you can get. I've used all Leupolds above on 12 gauge slug guns and .375 Holland and Holland rifles without a problem.

Thanks everyone for the input. I now have some ideas to go on. I was just really worried about the recoil, and blowing the zero off after a few rounds.

Forget the scope what you need is anew pair of running shoes when Melissa finds out you bought another BBl.

Given that I've seen you shoot, I'm not worried......

I have a Leupold 1.5-5x20 VX-III scope on my Remmy 700 375 H&H.

Leupold 1.5 scout on my Marlin 336 loaded to 358 Lott. Scope functions even after shooter gets tired of abuse..auto ejects is what friends tell. It does dislocate! Wickedist kicking rifle I've owned.
