Well,
I've recently acquired one
but I'll pass on the other. I don't find the required dress code appealing.
LOL I will NEVER own a 375r ! if i wanted a more powerfull 375 i would go to a 375 RUM or 375 Weatherby or the Emperor 378 Weatherby !

Well,
Thats a Real Beauty there Johnn - you had better come up here this spring and bag a Big Blackie with it !

, there are a pair of 358NM's
and a '.366 Wagner'
ahead of it in the 'seniority' line up that have yet to draw blood.

One can have some of them too..........I've got the 375 Wby, but yet to venture into the RUM-378 neighborhood, with a Rigby and 458 Ruger and 470 NE, I just don't see a need for that much power behind a 3/8" bore bullet. If I really need to reach out and totally annihilate something, I've got my .50 BMG !!! LOL

Thanks guy and you're quite right on the scope. That's what I have on another Super Express I have in 458WM so in trying to keep 'things' as similar as possible between the two, I went with the same on the 375 H&H.
The mounts used on the 458WM are a set of Weaver Pivot Mounts. I have another set for the 375 H&H but
I'll 'play' with the existing on it for a while.
My scope is BETTER then Yours My 375 H&H wears a 2 x7 Leupold ! I can shoot way longer distances then you and Johnn can !

That's fine, but maybe we don't want to shoot longer distances ??

Well if you're going to be like that I have a 3-9 Zeiss on one of mine, and it ain't no f**king Conquest either it's a Diavari
A man can't hit what he can't see.............The Ruger African I just picked up came with a nice little 1-4 Leup on it, but I'll probably up that considerably for testing loads, something in the 12-18X range, as I can't stand being handicapped on the bench testing loads with a low power scope. There was a day when it didn't make that much difference but alas, no longer !!

I have a 40 year old 1.5-6 on a Sauer 80 in a Suhler Einhak Montage (SEM) claw mount. They didn't make a 3-9, that's a Hungarian/USA/Conquest thing.

What do you mean I don't hunt anymore ?? Every evening at dusk I'm patrolling the fence at the Vancouver Game Farm with my 458 waiting for the Cape Buffalo to try escaping !!
Sorry for the hi-jack OP...
