Red dot for .375

[Cal973]

Safari Grade .375s Winchester Model 70 Custom Shop or similar don’t have factory red dot milling. They’re built for traditional glass, so you’ll need a low profile side mount Warne or Leupold to keep the original barrel bands and side rail clean.

For the dot itself, a Holosun 503 or 510C 1-5x or 1x is the sweet spot big enough to see in daylight for your shots, tiny enough for the heavy recoil, and cheap enough to swap. Same 50 yard zero you’d use on any dangerous game rifle. Go for it.

Consider a Bradley Cheek Rest.

Trijicon’s are in the same class for durability.

Yep, no issues with hundreds of rounds through a .500 NE. Never got loose or impacted from recoil.

The 375 H&H is famously one of the most flexible rounds made, in my opinion you should forgo the Red Dot for something equally flexible; and on that rifle also traditional. There are a few options that cover that but my choice was a Leupold VX-6HD 1-6x24 Firedot. On the low power end it is a true 1-power, turn on the firedot and it becomes what is essentially a Red Dot. On the other end it is a 6x which is plenty. If looks matter, it doesn't have an objective lens "bell" so it looks like it belongs on a rifle such as yours.

VX-6HD 1-6x24 CDS-ZL2 Illum. FireDot Duplex

From the open plains to thick timber, the VX®-6HD 1-6x24mm offers a versatile magnification range that makes it ideal for dangerous game, mountain hunting, or any other form of close to mid-range shooting. It delivers amazing light transmission, glare reduction, and a clear HD image all in one...

@Rafiki I am very much considering putting that same optic on my .404J being built on a BRNO 602 and was curious about being able to use the firedot as you describe.

As for the question at hand, I love the 1moa RMR on my .470ne and it’s been through 200+ rounds now and still dead on.

On my .375H&H I went with suggestions from others and put a VX5HD 2-10x44 with firedot and love it so much I deer & pig hunted with it all last year.

All I can say is that a "true:" Red Dot does not have any magnification at all and either does the Leupold VX-6 HD. I have an AI point H30 on my 500 and it is quite similar.
