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.
Dave:
I will check out your suggestions. Not familiar with the Omega. Is that the Nikon BDC?
So far my Leupold USMLS has held up just fine, I even used it for awhile with 150gr loads, it's pretty tough and I've never lost zero.
On one of my other Accuras I put a Bushnell Banner Dusk to Dawn ML Scope in Mossy Oak Break-Up on it. It also has help up perfect. For the $89.00 I spent on it 5 years ago it was well worth the money. I would have bought another one but they did away with the Mossy Oak camo version.
One of my Hunting buddies also has a Encore, it seems as if he's forever messing with his zero on his scope. He also uses a non ML scope, it's been sent back to the manufacture twice already for repairs.
But again I have used Cheap Tasco's along with non ML Bushnells and I've never had a problem with them on a ML, some only cost $29.00 and I've put em through Heck.
