I have recently bought a Winchester M70 Stainless Rifle in 375.

I want to go with a 1-6 scope with illumination.

Also want 4 inches of eye relief.

Does anyone have experience with GPO scopes on 375 or larger rifles?

I can get a new one for 750 USD which is a lot less than most Euro or Leupold 1-6 scopes.

I currently have a Trijicon 1-6 on my 416, but looking to save a little money if the GPO will do the job.
 
Midway has the Leupold patrol 6 on sale right now for $1,099, it's a great DG scope.
 
IMO - As a traveling hunter, using a scope of this level would not be the best decision. A rifle capable of DG should have a top quality scope that’s made to last. You made a great decision with your 416 and I hope you do the same with the 375.
 
I have a GPO 1-8 x 24 on my 404 Jeffery. Shot about 60 rounds with the scope and have had no issues
 
I have had a Spectra 6 1.5-9x32 mounted on my .375 H&H for the past 3 years. Great clarity and works almost like a red-dot on 1.5 magnification. Flawless so far.

Hello, My wife and I hunted with Marius 2 years ago. He fit us into his schedule after a different outfitter "bailed" on us. He was always very good with communications and although we didn't end up meeting him personally, he called us multiple times during our hunt to make sure things were going well. We were very happy with him.

Reach out to the guys at Epic Outdoors.

They will steer you right for landowner tags and outfitters that have them.

I have held a membership with them for years and they are an invaluable resource.

Way better that asking random people on the internet...WAY better
