I know some will say that this is BS, but if it was then why do they sell ML scopes?
Myself, i think their are two simple reasons they make 'muzzle loader' scopes.

One reason is scopes labeled for muzzle loaders normally have the zero parallax range shorter than the scopes for center fire rifles, similar to the shorter zero parallax range of rim fire scopes.

The second reason is because muzzle loaders don't shoot so very flat, so labeling a scope 'muzzle loader', and fitting it with a fancy reticule, and saying it can be used with 2 or 3 pellets for long long ranges is appealing to the consumer.

I doubt there is such a thing as a 'resonic' unless maybe it is a rock band.

It is a 'known' that air rifles are destructive to normal scopes, but shotguns, muzzle loaders. I think not.
