Without a budget, it is sorta hard to make a concrete recommendation.

Still, I'll give it a shot.
For 375H&H, I would be going with one of the many excellent low range variable scopes out there.
Something along the lines of 1-5x24 or 1-6x24 or somewhere along those lines.
If properly configured, at 1x it is faster than iron sights and almost as fast as a red dot, while 4 to 6x, you can get good precision.
Price ranges vary wildly with these designs, so you get a lot to choose from and that is where you need to figure out price range.
In order of increasing price:
I would start with Leupold VX-R 1.25-4x20. It is pretty light weight and quick to deploy. #4 reticle with illuminated dot is a good option. ~$550
Leica ER5 1-5x24 promises to be very good, but it is new, so I have little experience with it. ~$750
Sightron S3 1-7x24 with illuminated #4 reticle is a surprisingly nice design. I am currently testing the tactical version of this scope and it is really quite nice. At 7x, it gives me a lot of reach. ~$850
Leupold VX-6 1-6x24 with an illuminated reticle is very good. ~$1000
Minox ZEi 1-5x24 is absolutely world class from what I have seen, it is a step up in price though. ~$1400
Meopta Meostar R2 1-6x24. I tested this scope and thought it was just stunning. ~$1400.
