[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 748375, member: 711"] It is a Pentax 1.5-6. Forget the diameter and it's in the safe. Same scope as the one that failed, but this one seems to be hanging in. A general rule for what in North America passes for heavy rifles is low magnification/wide field of view. If the game is a bear or a big hog, you may need to find it fast in the scope. African hunters often use 1x scopes, and I am told many professional hunters will insist you leave your scope on the lowest power while you are walking around. Burris makes some nice low power scopes for reasonable money. Hondafire, I still have that .44 Ruger I bought from you. Shoots good. I think I would go with the .375 H&H instead of the Ruger because of recoil, expensive ammo/brass, and ammo availability. I suspect a few years from now Ruger's new round will be real hard to find. The H&H, while a little slower, is available world wide and will be 100 years old soon. CB [/QUOTE]
