I read this artical on the Bushnell Legend 2-7x32mm and I looked up some other reviews on the scope just to double check and I have to admit Bushnell is a great scope. You might consider this one.

I have a Bushnell Banner Dusk to Dawn 1.5-4.5x32mm on my Black Diamond XR and it is an outstanding scope. The clarity of the scope is excellent. Last deer season I could look into the woods at the end of the day, where I was watching a monster buck during our doe season, long after my binoculars were not longer able to gather enough light for the job. I always said I wished I had got the 2-7 or 3-9 simply for range work where the extra magnification would be nice.

On my other muzzleloader I have a Sightron 3-9x40mm and I have to admit I am truely impressed with this scope. The clarity is excellent and the increased magnification is really handy on the range. I like to keep it on 6X and find I can do a lot of excellent shooting there.

As for a see through mount.. why? You put a scope on the rifle for the increased optic ability. I want my scope low to the rifle where it is best served. That way I am not cranking my neck out of wack and off the stock to get "that perfect sight picture." BesidesI have two rifles with see through mounts and have never used the iron sights since I put them on.

Instead I would consider some excellent bases and quick release rings. I would look into the Leupod or Weaver. I had a Burris quick release and they did not return to 0 for me. I've read a lot of good things about the Leupod and Weaver...

Just my two cents.. I just hate paying more money for a scope then I did for my rifle. With a muzzleloader I have no intention of shooting 300 plus yards.....
