I guess I'm lucky as I can squint and still see the sights on all of my side locks, but I know in a couple of years I am going to have to go the "Semisane Sinful Sisters" route.
I had a burris Fullfield scope on my Encore .50 cal. once and had to send it back to the factory. They honored the warranty and repaired it, but when I opened the box, there was a note in it and it asked me not to use it on a muzzleloading rifle again. I ended up putting a Bushnell Banner BP scope and it worked fine for years. Tasco had a nice 2.5x shotgun/black powder scope (Bantam) and it works just fine on my NEF Sidekick:
I am very weak in the knees when it comes to scopes and BP guns. I try to put either a shotgun or BP scope on my MLs. Sometimes it is difficult to find a BP dedicated scope from a company.

I will check out your suggestions. Not familiar with the Omega. Is that the Nikon BDC?
