[QUOTE="700xcr, post: 1013817, member: 10436"] I have a Leupold VX-3 2.5-8x36mm on my 375Ruger Guide Gun and very happy with it. Last Sunday took it out on a damage deer control hunt. Using factory Hornady 270gr. ammo made a 150yd. off hand 1-shot kill on a doe. High shoulder shot. 375 caliber entrance just in front of the right shoulder and exit was just behind the left shoulder. No blood shot meat. Her ears folded and she went straight down. No tracking involved. If I had to choose a 1 rifle battery for big game it would be a 375 Ruger. Going to have a Timney trigger installed. All my rifles are set at a 2# weight trigger pull. Guide gun is pulling right at 4# pounds. Overall real happy with it.:) [/QUOTE]
