Probably leaning to swapping the kahles around to the 375..... I have a couple of other scopes I could use on it a vx2 3-9 or a vx2 2-7 The field of view the kahles has is wonderful And I love the reticle It would make me use this rifle more

Good scope, should serve you well. Longest shot I've made with mine with the 1.5-6 on it was a wildebeest at 350. No problem.

Pull the Kahles off the 30-06, put it on the 375 and put a good 3-9x40 on the 30-06. Problem solved..

Specifically a Zeiss Conquest

He is talking 200 yd. shots! A 4x is all that is needed. You're not shootin' marmots!

If you don't want that scope for your .375, I'd love to have it on mine. 😁

Ha ha. I wasn't going to say that, but I have an extra one in the drawer right now, so I was thinking along those same lines. That would be a great choice. That reminds me, that I actually ended up with a Zeiss conquest 3.5-10 on my 375H&H. Those smaller scopes like the 1.5-5 just look right on a 375 though. Plus they help to keep the weight down. I know my pre 64 was a heavy beast. The classics are much the same. Awesome rifles though.

Going to take off the Leupold 1.5-5x on one of mine and put a NF 2.5-10x32 back on it. Then either put the Leupold on my pre 64 375H&H or another 2.5-10 NF on it. Might put the 1.5-5x on my M70 458Win Mag. Decisions!

1-6x would be great too.

Your original idea was a lot better than this one.

And lol I said “may try it” 50mm just isn’t going to look right to me Kahles probably going on this afternoon Plenty of length on the tube so it should be good to go

I have that same rifle

I had a Leupold VX3 2.5-8x36 on it. Wanted that scope on a different rifle so I put a Zeiss Diavari 3-9x36 on the 375

I put an old discontinued Zeiss Diavari Z 1.5-6x42 #4 reticle on my Ruger Alaskan 375 Ruger. I find this ideal for the capability of this robust round. And after hundreds of full-house load it has not changed POI.

Kahles has a great reputation for ruggedness and reliability. I suspect you would detach a retina before you knock a Kahles reticle out of kilter.

I vote for putting the Kahles on the 375.

Vari-X III 1.5 x 6-32. Works great on my lefty Ruger 375 Ruger. Two Alaskan moose and a Kodiak Brown Bear. Heavy reticle. Perfect for my hunting and never adjusted after initial sight in.
