Default RE: Muzzleloader Scope ????

Rifle scopes will work fine. Shotgun and muzzleloader scopes will work fine. All I usually concern myself on is eye relief. I like at least 3.8-4 inches of eye relief. Muzzleloaders can kick, and there is nothing I hate more then having a scope kiss my eye brow.
Can i put any scope on my muzzelloader? I never knew much about scopes and the guy at bass pro told me a blackpowder gun required a BP scope or shotgun scope to withstand the large jolts from the big caliber.

I would like to buy this truglow 50mm scope and put it on my next mz next month, but it is a standard rifle scope, can I do this?

Thanks
Apparently your guy at Basspro has never shot a 7MM Mag or 300Mag rifle. I won't shoot either of them as the recoil is much more severe than my Omega with a maximum load. Don't mistake me the muzzleloaders kick especially with heavy bullets but not any worse than the big centerfire rifles. The kick is actually not as sharp which is really easier on the scope.
