Ingwe, that is sure a beautiful rifle and buff. What do you guys think of the 225gr Hornady spire points?

For what range do you guys have your .375's zeroed?

I'm at 200 with the scopes, and 50 yards for the sights.

Same here. Also have a spare scope, in Warne QD's, zeroed and ready to go if needed.

I've got a Rem 700 Custom C with a 3-9 Zeiss Dia-vari in QRW rings, a Win 70 Alaskan with a 3.5-10 Leupold in Burris rings and a CZ 550 rebarrelled to .375 Weatherby carrying a 3.5-10 in Warne QDs. Theoretically I should change the Alaskan to QRWs some day.
They are all sighted for 200 yards with the scopes, and to the top of the bead at 100 with the irons. That drops to the center of the bead at 200. Scopes haven't come off on a hunting trip yet, but the back-up plan seems worthwhile anyway.

Bushnell 2-7x32 Elite 3200 in Warne QDs on a CZ550.

My 235gn handloads are 1" high at 100 and 1" low at 200yds, giving me a point blank on pigs of over 200yds which is much further than I normally shoot them at (usually 25 to 50yds).

That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied.

Nice, that 235 gr Speer is a fine killing, easy shooting bullet in the 375, I have killed a lot of deer through the decades with it.

Warne QD mounts holding a Nikon Monarch African 1-4x20mm for my primary and express iron sights for backup. I like this setup very much and you can get multiple QD rings to have multiple scopes for various purposes (like a lighted reticle for leopard or just a backup scope).
