When I first started out MLing hunting, I thought I should use a fairly good rifle scope. I started out with a Burris Fullfield II on my Encore, but that was a mistake. The Encore destroyed the scope and I had to send it back to the factory. They repaired tha scope, but in the interim I had put a Bushnell 3200 Elite on the Encore. I left it on until it also broke. I sent it in for repair and when they sent it back, they said not to put it on a ML gun. It was not made for that.

I talked to a friend and he also had this problem and he told me he went out and bought a scope that was made specifically for MLing guns. I did some more research and found out that there are different groups of scopes, one for airguns, one for MLers, one for shotguns and one for rifles. These different groups are made to sithstand different harmonics or resonics. I found out the hard way, but was lucky to have them repaired at no cost to me.

I know some will say that this is BS, but if it was then why do they sell ML scopes? And why did I break two rifle scopes on my MLer?

I now have a Leupold Ultimate Slam on my Knight Vision. This is my long range gun. I have a NEF Sidekick with a Tasco Bantom MLer/shotgun 2.5x scope that I got in Wally world for $35. This Tasco is one of the best scopes I have ever used on a gun and is best suited for hunting the thick stuff here in Virginia.
