I'm looking for a scope for both DG and PG, focus is more on DG for a bolt in either 375 H&H or something bigger. A line with your reasioning will help.

I am "attempting" to consolidate my rifles etc. less, but nicer. I'd posted this post elsewhere but it is a highjack of that persons thread, apologies to them.

In starting this process I may have jumped in a little quick and after some thought am thinking about switching the orders around a little.

Her caliber of choice would be 300WM and I already have a CZ550 375H&H.

If we were to go the R8 route, I would get at...

I purchased a CZ 550 in 416 Rigby a couple of years ago from @neckdeep. It had received the American Hunting Rifles #3 upgrade. It is a beautiful rifle that functions perfectly. Just one problem.
