Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only 375 hh mag

I prefer the old 3X, M8 Leupolds on my bigger bores..They arn't 1000 yard guns, but I can easily see an elk or deer well enough with a 3X at 1000, to take a shot if I was amind to but it would have to be wounded for me to do that.

For some reason most hunters think power in a scope makes you a better shot when in fact it makes no difference at all on big game..At any range you put the cross hair where it belongs and squeeeeeze the trigger. The size of the target has little to do with good shooting, in fact at say 800 yards, you will probably use more discretion with your hold with a lesser power scope.

I have yet to see an instance where scope power made any difference in practical field shooting. I do get told, emailed of instances that can be made up in ones mind, but I pretty well dismiss them as the "what if" syndrome.

my biesen built 375 wears an old redfield wideview in 2-7x........works good enough to throw down some sub moa groups.....not what I dream of forever, but it is paid for.
