Default nikon scope

Has anyone tried the new muzzleloading scope with the BDC rectical from nikon? The one with the circles for 150,200,250 yards? If so, does it work like they show on TV?

Thanks

I shot my buddies omega and he has one. I was very impressed with his outfit. If you look at past Omega post you will find some reviews.

I plan on getting one after this hunting season is over. A couple internet sites are selling them for around $199. Look around before you buy. I think one of them is optic zone:

FWIW. my friend bought anencorepro hunterand the BDC nikon scope. He got a great price on the prohunterpaid 600.00for the prohunter and 230.00 for the scope. he thinks the scope is great as he already took adeer at 154 yards(laser rangerfinder). He owned a T/C omega with aleupold VX111 2.5-8x . He told me that the pro hunter isn't what he expected as its actually harder to keep clean than his omega due to the break open design. He said he wish he just changed the scope on the T/c omega as this would have been just as efficient. He understands that you can utilize mutiple barrels for the encore whereas the omega is onlya ML. He bought the pro hunter only to be used as a ML and does not anticipate using it for anything else.he said go for the nikon scope but if all you want is an ML then get an omega and save yourself the xtra$$. If you want the option of one gun multiple barrels the encorepro hunter would be his choice.
