Need scope recommendations
We have acquired a Remington model 700. It is chambered for a 375h&h. I know that is a very hot round so I am interested in a good quality scope that has the range to use this rifle to its full potential. Thanks in advance for your advise.

Hello & welcome since this is your first post!
You can spend $50-3,000 & up but for the money & quality of scopes I've had great luck w/Nikon Pro Staff & Monarch scopes.
You can look up some reviews & see what you think. I'm sure alot of others will chime in w/opinions also.

I would say the biggest issue you will have is the ability of the scope to handle that recoil. I would research that aspect first. You may need to spend some money to get one that will be up to the task.

How much do you want to spend? It's silly to recommend something that is 3x your budget or .3x what you intend on spending.
Just sayin'..... 
That being said....my brother-in-law recently mounted a Vortex Viper on his 375 H&H. (I recommended he do so.) He has been very happy with it. Everything he wanted and then some, per his comments last week when I paid him a visit.

Yes I am worried about the scope holding up to the recoil. That's why I am asking everyone's opinion. On the budget it is kind of open at this point. If I need to save up for it I will. This gun was my wife's great grandpa. So I want to treat it right on its optics if you know what I mean.

Knowing your price range would help you can spend from $50 up to a couple thousand on a scope. Since it's a 375 H&H I'd look at Leupolds. They have great eye relief which can be a big plus on a hard kicking magnum.
