My first 375!

Anyone have scope suggestions?? I'm going to pick up rings today, and look around at scope options

i recommend something in the relatively low power range, nothing with a base magnification over 2x. i use a Leupold VX6 1-6x24 on my 416 and love it! another less expensive option would be a Leupold VXR 2-7x33. the illuminated reticle is a big help when trying to make quick shots and the low end power allows you to find small targets at close range (such as jackals seen while in the truck). ive made shots out to 400 yards with my scope set to 6x so there is no concern about having more magnification.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
