Somewhat impulsively I picked up a slightly used Remington 700 express rifle in 375 H&H. Not sure if I've been reading too many books on Africa or what but I fell to the temptation to buy the rifle way before the trip.

Since it's use is still somewhat unknown, may some day be the dark continent, maybe Aaska for bear...the scope needs to be something that can adapt.

Was thinking maybe a Zeiss Terra 2-7x33 instead of a more limited VX2 1-4x20. Any ideas or gotchas I need to be aware of when picking out glass for my new big bore? Want to keep the $$ under $500 if possible.
