Thread: Scope suggestions for 375 H&H

The .375 is ballistically very similar to the 30/06, but with a bit more ooommppphhh. Seeing as dangerous game aren’t really a consideration in NZ, use the same scope you would use on a 30/06.

Nice snag @Ryan_Songhurst

I reckon a quality, straight tubed scope is what you need. A matte finished Leupold VX3i 1.5-5x20 (capped turrets) would look the part. A scope with an objective bell wouldn't look 'right', I don't think.

There are a number of straight-tubed 30mm models offered by the Euro makers. Kahles? Too agricultural looking. Swarovski Z6/Z8? Too bulky and jewellery-like in appearance (wouldn't gel with the rugged look of your .375). Zeiss/Leica? Too modern looking, and the red/blue logos look gaudy on traditional rifles.

Schmidt Bender would be better. Understated appearance, and glass to rival any of the other Euro offerings. Either the 1.1-4x24 Zenith, the 1-8x24 Exos (expensive), or the 1.1-5x24 Stratos.
