Legal muzzleloading rifle scope in Kansas
Anyone have any suggestions. I called Kansas game and fish and they "she" said no scopes allowed. If it does not magnify? I can't use open sights with my old eyes.
Thanks,
Thanks,

Some, if not all of the red dot scopes can be had with no magnification. I've heard good things about the Bushnell Trophy. They come with different reticles to choose from.
If the rules specifically say "open sights only", then you may have a problem.
Good Luck

To me it looks like you can only use open sights

308 your right. I was interested in the early season, last year I used a red dot and was told that it did project visible light and I could have gotten a ticket. I think you could use a bow with a scope that does notmagnify I was hoping for the same with the muzzleloader.

The RED DOT would be illegal. They do produce an electronical light. Also there are brightness settings on most of them so they would be illegal. From reading the law you are stuck with traditional, fiber optic, or peep sights.
