Always lots of opinions I love it. As for me I always go bigger than smaller. Being able to see more detail through the scope for me is a plus and I feel that I am more confidentand accurate zoomed in. Also the amount of light entering the scope is better with a larger objective. Have fun shoot often.
I told a friend the same thing and he has the exact scope on his m70 375. On 2x with the fire dot it’s a great close range gun. The extra magnification is nice too. I’ve taken kudu, zebra, gemsbok, and hartebeest with 6x and several of those shots left me wanting for more magnification (beyond 200).
Look at the specs of the scopes you're considering. Field of view is usually listed along with exit pupil. The larger the exit pupil the better as that is the parameter that allows fastest/easiest sight acquisition. I like scopes with a lot of eye relief. In the stress of the moment, some shooters crawl the stock and get bit
Stay with better optics- Leupold or better. You don't need large objective diameter and over-cooked range of variable power scope. Even for PG out to the reasonable/practical range of the 375, 4x is usually plenty and IMO, much past 6x will likely be counter productive.What he said
Completely agree
I have also looked at this scope, however it looks like there is very little space for the front ring, especially on a magnum sized action.
I bought a Meopta 1.7-10x42 with the illuminated reticle.
The biggest difference in field of view will be if it has a 1 inch tube or 30mm. The 30mm tube will have a slightly better field of view at all magnifications. If you're in the jesse sorting out Mr. Bad I would have my scope at 1 or 2X at the most. Just me. I want the same sight picture I would have with irons when the moment comes.
Personally, I got myself Leupold VX-5HD, but with your budget I would consider Swaro and Leica rifle scopes. Trijicon should be well fitting your budget too, but I don't have any personal experience with it, so can't really recommend 'cause of that.
