Suggestions on what to put on top of this rifle.. probably won’t ever see dangerous game or shoot anything much past 200 yards I have a kahles Helia c 1.5-6x42 with a #4 reticle Just not sure if I want to use it on this rifle

Why not? Sounds like a great scope for your requirements..

I have a 1.5x6 Bausch & Lomb on my 375 and it has been a good scope

That Kahles would be tough to beat unless you wanted more top end x since it’s not intended for dangerous game. I have a 375 Ruger that broke a Burris after 3 shots. I am putting a Leupold VX3i 2.5-8 on it to see how it does. If I ever decide to go to Africa it will get upgraded.

I have been using a 1.5 x 6 x 42 scope on 375s for over 25 years. It seems to be just about perfect and was the recommendation of my PH in the late 90's. Your Khales is most likely the optimum choice, especially with most shots being less than 200 yards.

The kahles is on a browning abolt 30-06 and it has been an awesome scope Just on the fence about swapping it over

That Kahles would be dandy, I think.

If you choose to buy another scope for it, I would keep my eyes out for a used Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x32. I have several, including one that’s on my .375 H&H.

I've had a Kahles 1.5-6 with illuminated reticle on my 375 for over 15 years. Also have a Bushnell Elite 2.5-10, both in Talley QD rings. You can't go wrong either way.

The 375 doesn't need to be a short range caliber. A 2.5-8 or even a good old 3-9 would make it more versatile.

I think the 1.5-6x power is perfect for a .375. Not sure how Khales holds up though. I’ve only owned one briefly.

I want to make a 3-10 NF SHV work on my .375 I just can’t bring myself to put a rail on a Model 70!

On what mounts? It’s not too short?

Trijicon Accupoint 1-6 is worth a look too.

Steel Talley split rings, standard bases. Scope has more mounting flexibility because of the 32mm objective. Not too short.

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

Great scope, what's the doubt about using it?

A 2.5-8 is good for a lot as is a 3-9 but all the cool kids here have to find something different so they don't make the grade anymore.

Hell yeah! I’d like something similar on mine!

OP said his max shots are going to be "200 yards". The scope he has will work great for that application. If he said he'd be shooting 400 yards, I'd also suggest something along the lines of a 2.5-10 or 3-9x40.. As it is, that is a moot point..

I’d still be fine with the 1.5x6 at 400 yards for stuff I’d be using a 375 for…. Deer on up!

You have a lot better eyes than I do. I need magnification. I also shoot a lot at 400+ yards and I know for myself I draw the line at a 3-9x40 at 400.. Those are my limitations and I admit that.. For a while, I ran a 1.5-5 on my pre 64 model 70 375H&H and had to eventually step up for shots out to 300 yards. I went with a 3-9x40. Gunner owns that rifle now and I believe he uses a 1.5-5 Leupold on it. I may be wrong. Again, at 200 yards, I'd be comfortable with the op's scope.

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.

You really need to take it to Africa!

Specifically a Zeiss Conquest

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

Hip

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.

Yep My brother gifted me a 3.5-10x50mm matte heavy duplex yesterday for it Says he hates the heavy duplex and said it would work well on the h&h May try it and see how that works

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

^^^^^^this^^^^^^^ I had a Sako .375 with a 1.5-6 B&L IMO its an ideal combination.

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.
