Can I use the rings and bases on my 375 HH weight 3,2 kilograms and with a Zeiss Victory Diavari 3-12x56 scope on top.
Any experience or thoughts are welcome.

Since you asked for "thoughts" .... I think it's way too much scope for a 375Magnum. Too big in both size and magnification.

I've had several 375s over the years and used either a Leupold 4x, 1.5x5 or a 1.5x6. All were lightweight and offered vg eye relief.

A lighter scope is easier to hold still in the rings during recoil. See this thread ....

The big heavy European scopes are hard to keep in place in heavy recoiling rifles, they tend to slip ever so little in any mount system that I know off. It changes the POI on constant basis..A few of those nice European scopes have a finish that is akin to silacone and nothing will hold them in place short of a wad of weld or glass maybe! smile

I personally would opt for a 3X, 2x4 or 1.5x5 Leupold, but thats just my choice...

The scope is too big; agree with Super Cub and Ray above.Take their advice and use a smaller scope.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
