Default scopes for muzzleloaders?

I just picked up what appears to be a very nice scope for a very good price from a guy going out of business (retiring). The scope is a Bushnell Trophy, 1.5 to 5 in camo finish and I got it for 50.00 new in the box. One thing I noticed about it is that the center of the crosshair has a circle around it. Don't know if that is good or bad but that really isn't my question. The guy who sold it didn't recommend that I put it on a 50 caliber muzzleloader. He said that he thought they should only have shotgun scopes on them due to the heavy recoil. Anyone have any problems with regular scopes on their muzzleloaders? I've always hunted with sidelocks and no scopes so I'm still new to the inline rifles.
