I prefer Nikon Monarch scopes generally. Was thinking of getting a 375H&H. Was wondering about scopes for it. The Monarch lists eye relief as 3.7-4 inches on the 2-7x.

So wondering if anyone has one and could comment on the suitability of it on a rifle with lots of recoil. This appears to be the Monarch with the most eye relief.

Esldude, that's what sits on my 375 H&H. Sauer 202 Takedown with talley mounts. About 200 rounds through it so far, just great and no issues at all with 'scope bite' I like it a lot.

Just the info I needed. In the best way, on a 375 H&H no less.

Esldude,

I have the Prostaff 2-7 on My 11-87 slug gun. I've been testing out different slugs as well as reloads and she's a pretty good stomper from the bench to say the least (385s at 1900fps and 525s at 1600fps). This little scope has held up great so far so I can imagine the Monarch would be a good bit better.

Good Luck

I have one on a Whitworth .375 H&H, no problems at all and seems to have enough eye relief. Really, this is a pretty good hunting scope for the money.

I have 2X7 monarch on my favorite deer rifle and love it! The compact size and reticle (duplex with slighly heavier width) sold me on scope. I have a number of leupolds (great scopes) but prefer the Nikon monarch. studdog

I mounted a 2x7 Nikon Monarch about four years ago on a relatively light Remington 700 stainless synthetic .375 H&H, and it's been fine.

All positive replies, so now all I need is a 375 to put it on.

Zupspoon, Do you have a Remington XCR, and how much does it really weigh whichever you have? You mention it is relatively light, would you get a heavier rifle if doing it over?

Thanks for the info everyone.

I also have a Prostaff on my slug gun and that kicks more then my .375. I don't think that'll be a problem for a Monarch.

Esldude...when I bought it about 4 years ago, it was called the 700 BDL Stainless Synthetic...has a 24" barrel, and with the big hole probably weighs less than a smaller caliber in the same configuration. It weighs 8 pounds with scope mounted. I had the dealer ship it to KDF for a muzzle break before I picked it up. And yes, if not for the muzzle break, I would have picked a heavier model.

Thanks for the info Zupspoon.

I am thinking I want 9 or 10 pounds at least. I hate muzzle brakes because of the noise.

Not planning on DG so might just try this in a Ruger #1.
