Greetings X_MJA_X,
Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.
Good luck with your quest to buy a scoped .375 rifle.
They do sometimes become available for sale, through this wonderful forum.
However, if you want to look at rows and rows of them for sale, have a look into the following website:
www.gunsinternational.com
Best Regards,
Velo Dog.

G'day from Australia
You are in the right place. Plenty of knowledge people here regarding the .375H&H and high end glass.
I think there are a few using Leica when it comes to high end rifle scopes but it's one brand I have not had the opportunity to try.

Welcome! How high end? Bolt action rifle or?
My wife @Just Gina loves what she calls "Jewelry Scopes". Swarovski of course, noting their crystal jewelry lines
I have a M70 with Leupold VX6 illuminated 2-12 x 42 on it. For about double the money, a Swarovski does have slightly nicer glass. I'd have a hard time arguing between that 2-12 vs. a 1-6x24. Really personal preference. Or go with a 1-8 Swarovski or Zeiss. Gina has a Swarovski on her 375 double but @Esoteric Junkie had a Zeiss at the SCI dinner last year showing it off and I loved it. Especially how sharp the illuminated reticle is.
I would highly recommend getting an illuminated scope. Especially if you plan to hunt buffalo with it

Welcome!
I just completed a season with a MINOX fitted to my camp rifle CZ 375 H&H.
Can certainly recommend the brand so far.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

*PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS FOR MY RIFLE, ALWAYS APPROACH A NEW LOAD CAUTIOUSLY!!*
Rifle is a Pierce long action, 32" 1:8.5 twist Swan{Au} barrel

Peterson .280AI brass, CCI 200 primers, 56.5gr of 4831SC, 184gr Berger Hybrid.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
