Leupold doesn't make a 1.25x4 that I know of, so are you looking at other brands?

I have found that a leupold 1.5x5x20mm VariXIII, a 1" scope, to be an excellent scope for a 375H&H. I'd bet the VXIII is a bit better, but know first hand. It would be fine for 99% of all shooting and hunting, but it is weak in very low light. No issue in the US, as far as I'm concerned, given 1/2 hour before sun up and 1/2 hour after sunset restrictions. But not the scope for leopard or lion hunting, maybe not for bear over bait in the woods either.

I have heard of problems getting the 2.5x8 to fit long magnum bolt actions, same witht the 2x7 VXII. I have one of each of these on my two 30-06's, and they are OK scopes. I think I prefer the 2x7, but ask me tomorrow and that could change, no real difference in preformance, imo.

The ideal scope for the 375 is for me either a 1.1x4x30mm S&B or the new 1x6 Swarovski, but these are pricey. For those who can stand the large objective bells, the 1.5x6 is perfect, and iirc, Kahles makes one and they are almost as good as the very pricey S&B or Swarovski for about 1/2 the $'s. I have both the 1.1x4x30mm S&B and the 1.25(?)x4x30mm Swarovski and the S&B is head and shoildrs better.

Hope this helps,
