Nikon Prostaff BDC?

[longbeardbuster]

Has anyone tried a Nikon Prostaff BDC scope on muzzleloader or are they just for center fire calibers? I know the Nikon Omega BDC scopes are made for muzzleloaders but are quite a bit more expensive.

They sure have my interest as well. I was looking at it from the stand point of sight in the cross hair for 100 yards, and lets say the next mark is only good to 140 yards, the next mark hits at say 172 yards.. well if I know that I can still use them dots. After all no deer walk in and moves to 150 yards and stands there waiting for the long shot.

If you get one and test I be sure to post the results. I would be most interested. I have thought about getting one for one of my inlines and then seeing what it will actually do out to some extreme distance. But first I have to get to them extreme distances around here. I keep shooting at my range, I might have cut enough trees down now to move it to 150 yards...

There are differences in recoil between different types of gun, some of the differences in price may be because of a difference in design. I have the Nikon Omega [along with about 20 other scopes] and I have found it to be an excellent scope; I sight mine in a bit different than some, with 120 gr BH209 and a 350 gr Shock Wave it is "0" in 2.75 inches high at 100 yds on "0" at 165yds and the first ring is on at 200yds the second ring is on at 230yds the third ring is just a bit high at 250 yds and that's the longest distance I have been shooting it at. My groups do vary with the wind and weather [also with me I am over 70 and sometimes it shows] my best ever group is with the Nikon Omega and is .210 center to center at 100yds I can normally expect to be under 2 inches at 150 and under 3.5 inches at 200yds beyond that its just having fun as I wont shoot at an animal over 200yds. The scope is on a Triumph that I lapped [ using a lead slug in the proper way and with JB bore paste then polished with jewelers rouge. This is on of the two most accurate guns [muzzle loaders ] I have owned the other is a Z 5 Omega and it will match the way the Triumph shoots if I switch the scope to it. I just don't seem to quite be able to get the same level of accuracy with my other scopes. Lee

I have the Prostaff BDC on my Optima and have been very pleased. I use a 300g slug and 90g of powder. Past 100 yards the slug drops a little faster. Zeroed at 100 yards the first dot gets me to around 140. thats all the further I need here in Indiana. This will be its 2nd season and it has held up well on a muzzleloader.

Guys - I like the Nikon Prostaff with BDC I put on my Genesis. It is very clear. I've only been out shooting once with it. Haven't had time to test the accuracy of the circles. But one neat thing, at 9X the circle surrounds a 1" dot at 100 yards. Which is nice when trying different loads. You use the crosshair for one group then the bottom circle for another. This prints the next group about a foot high.
