Can anyone recommend a good scope for a Browning A-bolt 375 H&H, mounts also??
I was looking at the Bushnell 4200 3 x 9, is there that much difference between the 4200 and 3200?? Price is an object, I don't want to spend more than $300 on the scope.

Get the 4200, it is noticeably better than the 3200. They are going for $250 on SWFA.com right now, that is a fantastic deal for that scope. It is a great scope, I love mine.

I would go for the 4200 if choosing between it and the 3200.Its a heck of a scope and one of the best deals out there .Personally thou if i was scoping a kicker like you have there i would opt for something with a little more eye relief.As for mounts talley light weights or warne . |

As for rings and bases, the Warne bases with the "quick detachable" rings are fine!.....And BTW, the V3 Weaver`s eye relief is 3.5" on the 3x and 4" on the 1x. NOT the 3.12" listed. My Leupy VX3 has more eye relief........Although, I have used my formerly owned 3x9 4200 on a 375 with no scope whacking problems!

Ditto Big Squeeze and Pyro. If the game is large enough and dangerous enough to warrant a .375, you need to drop down to the lower scope powers. Otherwise, you are likely to see the classic "eyefull of fur" (or hide) when things get hairy.
Incidentally, the Leupold Quick Release mounts also work just fine!

I got the idea of the 3-9x40 from here.
Also, this gentleman told me he would go for a 3-9x40..

On the recommendation of all these guys for going with a lower power, check this one out.

..............................Very good!............Consider the Weaver V3 1-3x20,,,,the Sightron lower powered straight tubed variable.......the straight tubed Leupolds,,,,,,,same in the 4200.............One of the reasons I chose the Leupy VX3 1.5-5x20 with a German #4 reticle is because I consider the German #4, to be one of the best reticles for quick targeting and general all around hunting. With the exception of Trijicon Accupoints (no batteries needed), I`m not too keen with illuminated reticles............I would own the Trijy 1.25-4x24 right now if it weren`t for the lack of tube mounting length. IMO, offsetting scope rings are just plain ugly!!

Leupold VX3 1.5-5x20. I had one on my .375 for a time and it is an excellent choice. It is very forgiving on eye position and has enough magnification for any longer shot that gun is capable of.
I use Talley QD's. I think they are more solid than the Warne's and look better. I also have Warne's and they will save you a little money and work fine, too. |

I Have a Browning A bolt 375h&h, I've kind of split the difference between high & low powered variables, I mounted a leupold 1.75-6x32 vxIII, but I do agree with squeezer and i'd lean way toward the lower powered variable.

Well, it all depends on what he is going to be hunting. If he's building a dangerous game rifle, the lower powers make sense. But if he wants an elk hunting rifle, a 3X9 would be fine. Everyone just assumed he was going after cape buffalo!! ( these damn gringos!!) --Ed |

Right you are on that Ed and the 4200 is an excellent scope well within his price range.
