I think you should buy as much or as an expensive a scope as you think you need, I had a VX2 on my Interterms 375HH for years with the same Leupold Quick release mounts and never had a failure. I'd say look at as many Scopes as it takes to find the one that suits you. As much as a 1000.00 USD scope may appeal to me I sometimes think it's overkill JMTCI was reading up about the VX6. What would your opinion be if you had to choose between the two. Ie VX 2 or VX 6
The New Monarchs with ED glass, side focus and updated BDC reticle are certainly worth a strong lookCongrats on the new M70! Nikon scopes at very reasonably priced and good if not great glass. But they're very durable and for me that is worth more than a little more brightness and crystal clarity.
Winchester 275H&HIs your new gun a 375 Winchester or a Winchester 375 H&H? They are two different (much different!) cartridges.

I have the Leupold VX-6 in 1-6x with illuminated red dot for my 300gr DG loads.
I do like leupold scopes. The warranty and service is what sells me as well as typical durability. Additionally, the bang for the buck factor is usually one of the best.I've got my .375 topped with a 3x9 zeiss optic right now.. but am going to change that out soon and am trying to decide what route to take. The intent is to take the rifle on a buff hunt in 2019, but I'd also like to potentially use it in NA for bear, nilgai, and possibly bison over the next couple of years.
I've pretty much determined I'm going with talley QD's for rings/bases.. and have whittled the list of potential optics to either the Leupold VX-6 1-6x Illuminated, or the Zeiss Conquest V6 1-6x Illuminated.
Both retail pretty close to one another ($1300-$1500 range).. but I can get a pretty nice discount on the Zeiss if I buy using my veterans account at experticity.com (about $1150).. I havent found anyone selling the Leupold anywhere near that price point yet..
Decisions.. Decisions.....
