LOL...ya'll are reading too much into my post...I merely answered a questions as to why I didn't see a scope necessary on a smoke-pole...everyone has their own reasons and for good reason.
Gm54-120...I am well aware of what a "modern" muzzy is capable of, I have a couple and the only reason I haven't hunted with one recently is because of where I currently hunt the muzzy seasons suck...hahaha. I miss the good ole days when the muzzy season was actually good.
Don't ask my reasoning behind a decisions and then criticize my response....I simply stated my reasoning. All of your opinions and reasons for wanting a scope on a muzzy are equally valid.
