I know similar questions have been asked on here 1000s of times, but I picked up a nice CZ 550 .375 h&h about a year ago and still can't decide what scope to put on it. I am between the Leupold VX -3i 1.5-5 or the VX -3i 2.5-8. I will be using the rifle primarily for bear inside of 200 yards for...

My son has a Ruger American ranch in 450 bushmaster and he loves it. He shot a 300+lb pig with it last year high shoulder shot and it went about 10yds and done! I'm impressed as well!

Looking at the rifles, is the Backcountry worth $1000 more to save maybe 1/2 a pound over the hunter?

It does look to be one of those that looks good on paper but does not do anything that other cartridges do from what I've read. I just wanted to see if I was missing something. If I get to the point when I have the cash and decide I need a mark v Backcountry I think the .280ai would be the way to go

I am not in the market to buy one nor do I have a current need for this particular caliber, but I was reading about the 6.5 Weatherby RPM and was intrigued. Does anyone own a rifle chambered in it? If so what are your thoughts, does it live up to the hype?

In the research for this project I am beginning to find the same thing. For this build I went with the .358 win. However last week I came across a Montana rifle company x3 chambered in .325 wsm and couldn't help but put it on layaway!

I have been doing a lot of research into the ballistics of the .375 h&h lately and I'm very impressed. My plan was to top this rifle with a 1-5 power scope and set it up primarily for dg, but with a load like the Hornady outfitter with the 270 gr cx it looks like it could be a 300+ yard elk...

I know that the 2.5-8 will be great for bear hunting, but will it be a good power range for buffalo as well?

As far as the scope and mounts. I plan on putting a Leupold VX -3 1.5-5 on it. Should I go with standard or quick disconnect mounts?

Thank you and Happy Christmas to all of you as well!

Picked it up today! My wife wants to wrap it and put it under the Christmas tree lol, so I will have actual pics in a couple of weeks!
