I've got Trophy scopes on two of my slug guns. I guarentee you the 375 wont cick harder than my SG with 3 1/2" slugs. No problem, and I have to be close to 700 rds.

worked good on my 308s, but that is as far as I'd go.
375 likes fixed powers.

Why fixed powers? to much recoil shock? for them to handle it.?

If the scope is not a FFP then you get a shift in the aiming point (usually) while you change the magnification.
If the reticle is a SPF, your crosshair (or whatever you chose) changes in size, but does not shift zero.

Fixed powers are brighter (less lenses)
Tougher - no erector tube.
Lighter - less stress on rings and not last - shoulder.....

And they are just a lot ###y-er. Averyone and their dog has a 3-9x40 nowadays.

I have had a 3x9x40 B&L 3000 on my 375 H&H for years and it is "dead on balls accurate" In fact that is the the setup i will be takeing on my Grizzly hunt this fall just like every other time I hunt. My poi does not shift with magnification and the scope has never let me down.

I can't see a problem, provided you use quality rings.
