RE: Scope for the hard kickers??
I have a Leupold 1.5 x 5 Vari X III on my 375 H&H and love it. Another excellent choice would be in the 2.5 x 8. If you intend to use your big bore for dangerous game, the 1.5 x 5 would be my choice for the simple reason that on 1.5 power you can pick up a moving target rapidly, say a brown bear that saw you before you saw him and he is having a bad day.[:-] Both have very good eye relief and enough magnification for just about any game where a big bore is needed.
