Bob, I have both scopes and the 1.75 does give you a bit better light transmission IF, IF the scope is relatively new (less than three years old). As to the 1X5 with the Ill reticle, worthless for low light. I bought one for my 338 (I'm also a small scope guy) and practiced with it on a few hog hunts in low light and the 20mm objective just plain SUCKS for light transmission. As to the NF scope, they are indeed superb, but in my view too big & bulky for the 375. If money was not an issue, I'd buy either the Swaro PH in 1.75X6X42 (with a German #4) or the new super-duper Z6 in 2X10. Now THERE is one hell of a versatile scope. jorge
