RE: Muzzleloader Scope
I'd just go down to Walmart and pick up a Tasco that is in the range your looking to spend. Good and cheap bare basic beater scopes. I put a Tasco Prong Horn on mine about five years ago and have beat the crap outta it. It doesn't look like much, but it holds zero and that's all I care about. I'm a no frills type of guy, still shooting side locks and round balls. It works great for me! I guess it's all in what you want to spend and the need to keep up with bigger and better. I don't think having the best will make anyone a better hunter. It all comes down to having the skills.
