Looking to put new optics on the Ruger Guide Gun in 375 Ruger. Nothing crazy just a good utilitarian scope that holds zero. The rifle will be the go to in Alaska for all big game. Any special quick detachable rings come to mind.

Thanks, MH

I have a Leupold VX3 2.5-8x36 on my .375 Ruger Alaskan. It’s my dedicated moose rifle with three bulls in its name so far. A good compromise for close or long shots.

The 1-4x or 1.5-5x Leupold are great versatile scopes. In fact a straight 2.5 or 4x work great and are even more rugged and weather proof.
If you need to magnify any animal that requires a 375 more than 4x , you need to learn how to stalk !

On my 375 Ruger Guide Gun I have a Leupold VX-3 2.5-8x36mm with low Alaskan Arms quick detach rings. NECG Ruger Ghost Ring Sights.

I have a 1.1-4x24 in Warne mounts on a 20" one. This combination has been on many years and no issues.
I have a 23.5" one currently with Alaska Arms ring and a 1.5-8x42. This rifle has had 1.1-4, 1.5-6, and now the 1.5-8. I do like the larger objectives and 6x in lower light.
The Alaska Arms rings are my favorites. I have them on several Ruger rifles.

Mine wears a Leupold VX-3 1.75-6x32. IMO perfect for anything under 300 yards.

I had a 4x33 FXII leupold on mine for a while but switched to a burris 1.75-5x32 sig safari/posilock. Both work-worked well, but I went through less than 100 full power loads, and now I shot a 235g load, its just more fun for me and I don't have a brown bear hunt scheduled so I will stick to the 235s until I do.

My 375 Ruger wears a Leupold VarX-III 2.5x8. It's the old version with friction adjustments. It's a good older scope. It has never lost zero. It's been to AK for a nice grizzly in 2017 & over to South Africa for a Cape Buffalo. Perfect IMO.

That was going to be my suggestion! We used one for about 20 years, mounted in Leupold QD bases and rings. NEVER had a problem. With our relocation, and most shots being much longer we stepped up to the Leupold 3.5-10. The 2.5-8’s are carried with us for a back-up if needed. memtb

When I made my last trip to Africa I took my .375 H & H with a 6x and my .300 WM with a 4-12.. Most of the country we hunted was brush... The old advice of a fixed power seem to make sense, so I put a fixed 6x on the .375.. Did not have a fixed 4 x or less... Anyway I carried the .375 a day or so, shot one waterbuck with it, and picked up the .300 for the rest of the hunt... I planned to use the ,375, but the 4-12 made it much easier to find a hole in the thick brush ... Sometimes a spot as big as your hand was the clear path for shooting.. I put a 3-9 Leupold on it when I returned and it has remained there ever since...

Thanks for the inputs. I ended up with putting on a Leupold VXiii 2.5-8 with the BC reticle.

Perfect choice.

I love my VX6 1-6 on my 375 guide gun. It has the best field of view, can be cranked up to 6x to miss small at extended range, and in a compact tough package. I would also be happy with the 1.75-6 or 2.5-8 others have mentioned.

does not have the peep but ruger left hand has left hand llc alaskan arms qui ck detach and a leupold vx3 2.5-8x36 scope.

there is a pattern...

Like others have said, I have a Leupold VX-3 2.5-8x36 standard Duplex on my Ruger Alaskan, great combination.

Trijicon Accupoint 3-9 on mine

I really like the Alaska Arms QD's, they come in left hand which suits me. Good customer service.

Tried all of the Leupold 2 X 7 and 2.5 X 8 would not hold zero and adjust properly.

Prefer the Vortex Viper 2 X 7 to bad its been discontinued.

I have a Leupold VX3 2.5-8x36mm with Leupold alumina scope covers and Alaskan Arms LLC quick release scope rings. Then I have a NECG Ruger Ghost Ring Sight that fits in rear scope ring slot in my 375 Ruger Guide Gun. I have shot and killed deer and elk with this combo with Nosler 300gr. Accubonds.

I would look for Nikon African 1-4x with 25mm tube. Those had glued in lenses making them very shock and recoil resistant. Not sure if current Nikon 1-4 Monarch have same construction, but they do have same optical parameters.

Leupold 2.5-8, simply a good all around scope! memtb

I have a Leupold VXR 2-7 illuminated on my 375 Ruger. Works great!

I put a Leopold FX-3 6x42 fixed focus scope on my 375 RUM. Eye relief was my main criteria, and this one has 4.4".

Good 2-10
The 2 will get wide FOV and 10 will be fun at the range and possibly 300 yard shot which 375 ruger can do just fine.
Let’s be honest, you hunt most of the year or at the range?
But
1.5-6 would be up there as well.

While I don’t have a 375, I have used a .338 WM in Alaska quite a few times. I mounted a Leopold VX-II 2x7 on mine. I’ve never felt the need for more power, and typically carry it at 3x. For guns that are used on dangerous game, often times, less is more.

This.
Its a big target and a big bullet.
