Winchester 375H&H now need help on a scope
Hey everyone, I finally was able to find my dream gun, a Winchester 375H&H sts/syn. Now I'm not sure what scope to put on it though. I was looking at the Redfield 3-9x50 but I don't know if it will handle the recoil from the 375. Is there any better for the price?

I have two .375 rifles, and each of them has a Leupold 2.5x8. I have had the .375 H&H for years with this scope and have been on some rough hunts with it. I picked up a .375 Ruger when they came out and have been on some really long walks with it too. The scope power range seems about right for a .375, and I am very happy with these scopes.
I would not suggest a 50 mm objective for a .375 scope. A fairly light scope goes better with a rifle that has this much recoil in an 8 pound rifle.

Nice rifle.
I have casually looked around for the same rifle that you just bought. It is hard to find one in really good condition unless you live in Alaska (where they seem to be fairly common). If you ever tire of it (or the recoil) and want to sell it, PM me.

I had a 375 H&H just like the one you bought. You will need to purchase a premium scope like the Leupold, zeiss etc. The power will be your choice but I used a silver leupold 2.5x8 vari-lll and it worked great. I still have the scope and rings and would consider a trade on ??? or sell it tyd for $400. If you are interested e-mail [email protected]. Jim
