What is the best scope for a 375 RUM?

[West_Texas_Bull_Shooter]

I am building a load for a custom Remington 700 chambered for 375 RUM. I am a Leupold bigot and was thinking of mounting a VX6HD scope on it. Which best matches the round: the 1x6 or 2x12. I will be ordering a CDS feature when the decision is made.

That is a long ranger, I'd do the 2-12 for sure.

You can use that gun for everything. A 250 CX or TTSX would be a laser. No reason to hand cap it with a 1-6,.

And no reason to handicap it with a Luepold.

Nightforce NXS 2.5-10 or Nightforce NX8 2.5-20 on a Pic rail with some Nightforce rings or even better a Spuhr mount.

This was a good thread a while ago. Two groups of thought. I started with a 1.5-5 and moved to a 2-10 on my 375. I see no functional difference between 1, 1.5, 2x but I see a huge difference in 5x vs 10x or 12x.

2x is great for everything. I shot a red stag and a wild boar last Friday at 2x at 30 and 50 yards both on the run.

Thursday I dialed to 10 to shoot a red deer hind at over 100 because I had to thread the needle between two trees and she was standing there.

When you need more, you need more.

This is on Zeiss V8 1.4-14 or whatever they are.
