Default BSA Scope

I bought a BSA Contender 4x16x50mm scope for my 50 cal muzzleloader. How do you guys think this will work out, bad or good. Thanks

Well, it's too late. Shoot thegun awholebunch, then tell us what you think of the scope.

The good thing is, if you don't like it, at least you won't be out too much $$$. If you do like it, then you got a real bargain.

If I give you my opinions of a particular brand of scope, they may skew your perception one way or another.

Oh, and I do have an opinion of BSA's...

Good Luck,

FC

FC is right. If the scope works and you like it, congratulations. Wouldn't recommend using magnum loads with it. I had one on my .308 and it worked fine. Some say they won't take recoil.I tried a tasco, 2 simmons, a Nikon,and a bushnell on mine (Omega and OptimaML).None lasted six months. I finally saved enough to buy a Leupold and haven't looked back.

I am not knocking your purchase. It is just sometimes they are good, sometimes not.
