Feedback on Nikon Omega Scopes

Gut Check · 08-27-2006, 09:04 PM

I put this in the Firearm Gear Review as well so I apoligize for the duplicated post if anyone sees it there as well.

I have a TC Encore 50 cal. and am looking for a scope. Nikon has the Omega scope designed for Muzzleloaders. You are supposed to sight the scope in at 100 yards and there are other marks for 125, 150, 200, & 250. This is using 150 grams of gun powder and a 250 grain bullet. One thing that concerns me is that each gun is different so how accurate can these reference marks be?

I plan on keeping this gun for life but you are limited to what else you can put the gun on and different types of bullets and amount of powder.

Has anyone had any experience with this scope yet? I know it is new but and feedback would be appreciated before dropping $250-300 on a scope.

I am sure the Nikon would work but I find the ballistic-plex of the burris scope to work just fine. Plus its less in priceand a very good scope. I have owned all types of scopes from zeiss, leuo, nikon, Khales, swaroand many of the cheaper brands and found the burris to give me the best bang for the buck.

No I dont work for burris I just started using burris scopes on all the different barrels I have for the encore so I dont have to switch them out, bore sight and so forth.

Just my 2cents

I'm sure this is a harmless typo but because of the newbies I want evryone to know you meant grains of powder.

Pittsburghunter is correct 150 grams would fiill the barrel to overflowing,the word you are looking for is grains the abbrevayion is gr. If you get a scope let us know how it works so far all I have heard is good on both scopes mentioned.Lee

Yes, I am an educated idiot. My bad,it was simply a typo. Thanks for pointing that out before some newbie did something REALLY wrong!

I have one on my Pro Hunter...Shooting dead on at 100 yards...shot at 8" steel plate at 200 and hit it everytime...the scope performed as advertised
