Nightforce 5.5-22 or 8-32 depending on range/use.Excellent scopes and reasonably priced.

Hard to go wrong with a 5-25 S&B or the 6-24 Hensoldt.

No, there is a 56.
Neither is offered in FFP, but I can't imagine you'd need FFP on a 375 CT.

here is a Hensoldt 6-24x56, my only draw back to it would be the .05 milrad knobs. Im not sure if they have the .1 mil might pm HuDisco on here, he is Hensoldts only importer

With the range of the .338LM + rounds, I love the USO SN9 with it's outside erectors and the available 120mm Obj. Can you say,"Wow, those sure look perky!" at 1500M +(As I was looking at the Knott's Berry Farm PArachute Ride from the old shop through a SN9 180mm OBJ...freakin wild!)

Yes. The two I mentioned both have 100 MOA of elevation and the NF has 60 MOA of wind. Not sure on the S&B. If I remeber correctly it took us about 75 MOA or so to get to 2000 yards with the 408 and I believe the 375 shoots a little flatter so you have plenty of elevation with a 40 MOA base.

Why? There's nothing streamlined / low drag about that beast, why not take advantage of a bigger objective.

We were shooting on a target that was about 1 MOA at that range and we had the scope on 18x and had no problems seeing the target and hitting it. I really liked the 5.5-22 and have one waiting for my 300WM which is being built now. I think the optical clarity is very good. We could actually see farther without a problem but the 2500 yard target had been knocked down a couple weeks prior to our trip to Arco.

Jrose, What great advantages comes with anything larger than a 56 objective? My rifle will be used to shoot steel plate in the daytime. I don't plan on hunting with the rig so light gathering is not needed.

Re: What's a good optic for the 375/408 cheytac
Larger FOV, higher resolution, better light gathering (brighter). Even if you don't plan on shooting in low light, you never now how early or late you might find yourself out, or just maybe heavy dark clouds roll in...
I have 58mm obj on all my USO's and have zero regrets.

Re: What's a good optic for the 375/408 cheytac
I would go 56mm or bigger depending on the scope
Schmidt Bender
Nightforce
USO
For a big heavy longrange gun like that. Go with a big obj high mag scope!!!

I'm really suprised that Premier Heritage has not been listed in the top 3. Any reason to rule them out? If the nightforce is as comparable to the others the savings might be worth it.

Just about every picture of a Cheytac I have seen has had a NF on it. For a weapon system like that I would go for the highest power out there.

Re: What's a good optic for the 375/408 cheytac
I would recommend the 5.5-22 as with the higher powers in the NF line you start to lose elevation which is more critical in a rifle like the Chey Tac than more power as you can see fine with 22x out to as far as the rifle will shoot.

Just run the Nightforce 20MOA mount also.

My vote goes to a USO with EREK, so you can use all of the elevation the scope has to offer.
