RE: scopes
I agree with you, Skeeter. The recoil from a muzzleloader is more like a shove, rather than a quick rap from a centerfire. I need more eye relief on my Ruger M-77R .338 Win Mag than my Remington MLS, but the B&L Elite 3000 (now Bushnell) that I have on my .338 has more than enough eye relief.
However, folks, I must say this. Save yourself the money (in the long run) and aggravation (in the short term) and stop buying these $49.99 scopes! They are going to let you down sooner or later; most likely sooner. If you do not have a lot of cash, buy a Leupold VX-1 for between $170.00-$190.00. Yeah, it's more than $49.99, but you'll be buying another scope soon anyway.
Remember the old axiom: you buy junk, you get junk.
