Default RE: Red Dot Scope on Muzzleloader?

I would suggest new friends!! Just kidding I got a Bushnell Trophy red dot it has tons of features and seems to shoot well. I just feel that a regular scope works better for hunting and the dots are made for quick close in action like pistol shooting or self defense.

I have mine on a .50cal Norenco right now and have only shot it a few times. I like it don't get me wrong but not enough to put it on one of my serious hunting guns be it a centerfire or muzzleloader. I bet it would be great on a turkey shotgun.

One thing though some states do not allow scopes that magnify and if you have a hard time with iron sights this could help you out if permitted.

If you have good eyes and can use a scope buy one instead.
