As the title states, what would you recommend for my Blaser R93 .375 H & H.
It will not be used for Dangerous Game,possible Driven,but definatly used out on the plains.

Hi DavieH,

I have the same gun, same caliber, and use a Schmidt and Bender 1-6x red dot. It works fine long range (have shot antilopes at > 250 m range) medium range with poor light (shot leopard at night) but is also great for driven hunt (no parallax, have shot deer, roedeers and boars)

Many thanks as I had thought I had bought the wrong scope.
I have just bought a Zeiss 1.5-6-42.
I have 4 Blaser's in .223/.243/300 Win Mag and .375 H&H
8 X 56 for both the .223 and .243
3x10x50 for the .300 Win Mag

I think I am sorted

Many Thanks

DavieH
 
Nope, you are straight on the spot with the Zeiss.
I also use same scope on a R8 Selous 416 Rem, and also a Zeiss with greater magnification for a R8 success in 270 W and 338 WM...
It seems we share similar tastes for weapons and scopes...

Take care and good hunting

Again my sincere thanks for the advise.

All the best from Scotland.
 
I have a 2-7x Leupold on my .375 RUM that I am 100% satisfied with. I've used it on two trips in Africa including my Buffalo in Zimbabwe, and Vaal Rhebok at 250 yds, Bontebok at 310 yds, Gemsbok at 348 yds, and a spot and stalk Eland at 30 yds.

DavieH,

The scopes mentioned are all great choices. There are a couple of 375 owners at the local range, one uses a Leupold VX-III 3.5x10x40, the other uses a Leupold VX-II 2x7x32, I personally like the VX-III 1.5x5x20. In the end I think it really does not matter what anyone elses opinion is on the scope of any rifle, as long as the owner is comfortable with it, and it works. you have a great scope and caliber combination. Good luck on all of your upcoming hunts with it.

BTW the gent with the 3.5x10 can ring a 36inch metal gong out at 600 yards 9 out of 10 times (which I cannot do, lucky to hear the gong half of the time) (from the bench) but my group is still tighter than his at 300 yards (again from the bench). I'm not to worry about it, I would worry (about the PH) if my PH told me to take a Cape buffalo at 600yards though.:p
 
Cheers guys for all of your advice.

That's hilarious!!!

I have a 2.5-8x 36mm Leupold VIII on my 375 H&H CZ 550.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks

hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
