Another CZ550 .375 owner!

[Gce61]

Finally got this home, ammo arrived, and I'm just waiting for the Warne rings (the proper ones this time).
Gave her a good cleaning and adjusted the trigger to 3# even. And, I have to say that I was prepared to order up a Timney module for this gun, but after playing with the trigger I think I'll stick with the stock trigger. It's got minimal creep, almost no over travel and is fairly crisp.

I also have the Leupold VX-R 1.25-4x20 ready to roll.

I've used the Leupold with the FireDot before and they are a great game scope.

by the way, (for the gents down South), that white stuff on the ground is what's left of 28" of snow!

 

[matt85]

congratulations!

although id recommend getting a more powerful scope, the 375 H&H is hardly a short range cartridge. I use a Leupold 1-6x24 with the same reticle but a 3-9 power would probably be just as good If not better. I wouldn't hesitate to use the 375 H&H out to 300 yards with the right bullet.

Be careful following this advice!!!! It is dangerous!!!!

I bought the same scope you did for the same rifle. And then someone told me to get a 2x10 scope to extend the range, just like Matt told you. So I did.

Well.... I had this extra vx-r sitting in the safe. I was going to sell it, but never got around to it. So.... instead I bought a .458 Lott to attach that extra scope to. You know, so I didn't misplace the scope.

Great rifle, Great Caliber,

I agree with Matt, I have a 1-4 on one of my 375's and it is hard to ring the potential out of the great cartridge she is. Although mine has a German #4 reticule in it and is heavy as all get out, makes precise shot placement difficult at anything over 100 yards.
Cheers,

Congrats! I love mine and the d bet u will yours. Matt has a good point, I put a 2-7 Nikon on mine. Works like a champ

Royal has a point, now that you have a 375 your going to need a bigger rifle to keep it company. the 458 Lott is an excellent cartridge... plus you will have a place for the 1-4 scope.

This is what I would tell my wife. Bought the wrong scope the first time. Now I need another scope, but I need another rifle to accommodate the first scope. She will understand

 

[CAustin]

Congrats it's a nice looking rifle

 

[Gce61]

Haha, your "suggestions" are under consideration!
I was at Griffin & Howe yesterday looking at a .458 Win mag.

 

[siml]

Glad you joined the 550 club. I carry a 458wm a lot, I suggest you rather go for the 416 rigby.

 

[thriller]

@Gce61 ...... Thats called snow huh..... ill have to write that down in my book of new words.

 

[Marshall T Farr]

What a beauty!!!!!!!!!!! Exactly the one i'm getting however i'm thinking i may upgrade to .416 Rigby

 

[bassasdaindia]

great rifle , great caliber , enjoy

 

[Tim Beahan]

Hmmm- every time I buy the 'wrong' scope, my wife buys something to put it on...... A wife that shoots- a blessing & a curse. No problem convincing her a 'need' a firearm, but I gotta get two....

 

[Witold Krzyżanowski]

Nice rifle in legendary caliber.
Welcome to the club.
This is the beggining of addiction.
Good luck.

When I bought my 375HH it came with a Burris 1x4, I thought i'd sight it in at 100yds with 300gr, and then use a 4x12 Leupold shooting lighter bullets at greater distances, I soon discovered how well it shot 300gr out to 200 meters and decided to scrap the light bullet idea and stayed with the 4x12,,go with a 2x7 or a 3x9

 

[matt85]

I used to shoot targets at 300 yards on a regular basis using a 375 H&H loaded with Hornady 300gr spire point boat tail bullets (they don't make these any more).

If you can hit it with a .30/06....
