Is Colorado no scopes? or no magnification? ie can you use a 1x scope?

The TC Omega caught my eye,

the northwest explorer looks to meet the OR,WA,ID regs... #11 w/ exposed breech.
Rather than trying to find one rifle that meets all the different rules, I would consider buying a VERY modern inline - speed breech (no tools needed to remove), Buckhorn 209 powder compatible (not all are), scope mounts, etc. And then when you decide to hunt in a more primitive season, buy another rifle - maybe a traditional style, like Hawkins. You were expecting a higher price any way, right? By the way you were talking about wanting a quick follow up shot. The Buckhorn 209 powder will help you get there. Other powders require swabbing (generally) between shots to maintain accuracy. Buckhorn does not.
