Most folks scope 375's with stuff like 1-4, 1-5, 1.5-6, maybe up to 2-7 or 2.5-8.

Sorry Dick284 this is my first attemt at quoting-
I own one of them Ruger M77 Hawkeye "African" version in 375 Ruger. I reload and with 300gr hornady round nose I've safely acheived ~2650 fps book velocity (according to the Hogdon manual); though I have to shoot it through a crony to confirm.
The open sights on my rifle are very crisp and pick up very quickly.
You might want to shoulder one and see how the sights are before you think about scoping it with a tactical scope; besauce as Dick284 said, the higher magnifications are really unnecessary.
