Thanks everyone for you input I will look up the suggested/ranches. Yep agreed luxury can be fairly broad depending what you have in mind. But I got what i was looking for thanks much. Tommy

When I got to thinking about the 700NE, it made me think of the one time I shot a 3.5" mag slug out of my 12ga (72cal) @ 2000fps. Can't remember the weight 600 or 700 grains. I think I'd rather get punched in the face really hard before I do that again.

Awesome pictures! I can't wait for my hunt with you guys next July!!

Good luck with your new rifle! If you end up not liking it I'm looking for a 375 LH Sako. Cheers

I believe Trijicon has a few 1-4 that can be had around $400 I know still pretty expensive but good glass, Leupold 1.5-5 are good also. Both of those companies had awesome veteran/1st responders deals well worth your time if you can qualify.

Dale, I get it. This rifle won't get much use and you don't want to spend too much money on optics. Your suggested optic has 45ft fov at 100yds. A decent 1-5 has 120ft fov at 100yds. When it comes to game that can kill you what would you want! If you foul a shot at PG you lose your game, you...

It's a good idea to rotate 90 degrees on the scope, I'm surprised I never thought about that before. Then it dawned on me, its already done for since I shoot left handed rifles.

300 Winchester Magnum, the end!!

375 Ruger Fan, Thanks for the information I may pass it on to somebody who's interested in target shooting, but I wasn't posting information to impress anyone just to help Buck51 get some data. Honestly I'd be happy with those variables double in size. As long as I hit where I'm aiming for...
