Default Scope advice needed~ Traditions Pursuit LT .50 cal?

Hey all, I'm looking for a scope to put on my Traditions Pursuit LT.50 Caliber .209 break-action muzzleloader.See it here...http://www.traditionsfirearms.com/eshop/10Expand.asp?ProductCode=R74103456

I want a decent scope but nothing too expensive. I only shoot it about 10-20 times a year getting ready for and actually going whitetail hunting, so I really don't wanna have more invested in the scope / rings than the gun cost.

I have about $100 in giftcards from Bass Pro and it would be nice to use them toward this scope and ring set. The gun has a camo stock and stainless or satin nickel barrel. If I could find a stainless / silver scope that would be a bonus too!

When I get a muzzleloader I intend to put a Nikon Omega on it. You can find them on the refurb/demo sites for about $190, and they are made for muzzleloaders.

Can't go wrong with a Nikon Omega with BDC reticle. It is inexpensive and good quality.

Cabela's has customer reviews on most everything. I find it helpful when shopping online. It might help you make a decision. Hope this helps you.

For products sold at Bass Pro, Nikon Prostaff 3-9X40 for around $179 is a real nice buy. I have it on my Remington .270.... similar recoil to a muzzleloader like yours that shoots sabots.
