This! I have one mounted on my AHR CZ-550 in 375 H&H, with Alaskan Arms mounts. I made my longest shot with this set up this year, on a quartering away Kudu, at a distance of 312 yards.

Wowser, that's a beautiful rig you have there!!
Swaro 1-8x24mm in extra low rings. Don't reuse the rings, get the straight tube and the lowest possible sight picture to honor the iron sights and stock geometry of a Biesen rifle that is designed to point fast.
Why not reuse the existing 30mm rings for a 30 mm Z8i? Did OP state the height (I may have missed it)? I like the logic, but if existing rings are engraved etc, I would be willing to use them even if it was possible to get a little lower (for a straight 24mm tube).

My 375H&H sports a Kahles Helia C 2.5-10 in EAW detachable mounts. I find this magnification works well for me and my tired eyes. My longest shot made being 230m.

I have a S&B Zenith 2.5-10 x 56 on my Blaser R8 .375 Bm gives that bit more for longer shots when needed without being to big and heavy.
You should try the S&B Exos. Your opinion may change.
. Kidding, but I have both and keep going to the Exos for new rifles. Difficult to quantify the difference, but I do appreciate one--in favor of the Exos.
I run two different scopes in qd tally rings. A Leupold 1-4ish and a Leupold 2-12.
90% of the time the 1- 4 Leupold is on it. It might be a 1-6. Can’t remember at the moment.
Thank you! I appreciate the offer, but it's fairly unlikely that I'll make it to STL in the remotely near future. I think the last time I was there was 30 years ago, but we never know where life will take us.
I currently have a Trijicon Accupoint 1-4 on my 550 .375. The fixed Warnes are being swapped out for Alaska Arms QDs. Excellent FOV, low profile turrets, and not too heavy. This one has the triangle post reticle, awesome like a red dot at low power, but precise enough to take longer shots on 4x.
I think @Philip Glass nailed it. A 1.5-10 or 2-12 just offers so many benefits for longer range shots without really giving anything up short range.

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
