Default RE: Scopes for muzzleloaders

You've heard good info Ricky. You need to use a scope specfically made for either a muzzleloader or a shotgun. A regular rifle scope won't stand up to black powder abuse for very long. I'm using a Bushnell Sportview shotgun scope (1.4 X 4.5) on my Knight USAK and it has held zero for close to 200 shots so far.

There are a lot of options for mounts. Knight sells several mounts specifically for their guns - I use their see-thru mount so I have the option of using either the open sights or the scope, depending on the conditions. I recently put a set of Burris Signature rings on my .308 and I like those alot - they would be a good choice if not using the Knight units.

Trust God..........but keep your powder dry!
