During regular rifle season on my ML's I use a 3x9x40 -> most often a Bushnell Elite 3200 with the rain guard lens - no need for scope cover most of the time... during ML season open fiber optic sights - Idaho - no scopes for ML season....

Depends on the rifle I am using and where I will be hunting. I have 3-9x40 for open field and everything else, 1.5-4.5x32 for woods plus anything I might encounter, but my favorite is getting to be my 2-7x32mm it just seems like the perfect power all around scope for a muzzleloader.

I also hunt with open sights since scopes are not allowed in the muzzleloader season here in Wisconsin.

im still an iron site guy but i dont shoot more than 70 yards in the woods i hunt. i may fire up my omega next year and put one of those scope thingies on it. my brothers sport a bushnell trophy banner with circle x reticle and its a great shooter.

I only use open sights. cant use a scope during Ml'er season.

RE: How many use open sights vs scope
 

I use scopes only. 2-7 and 3-9 are my preference although I do have one 2X on a pistol.

I don't use a scope and probably never will. For one thing it's illegal to use one in ML season here and I just prefer the challenge. I'll only shoot 100 yards.

Open sight with my kodiak 50cal. I would like to put a scope on but I can only use it during the firearm season and have to take it off during muzzleloader season. Too much hassle, so I don't bother putting a scope on.

I scope all my muzzleloaders except the flintlock and a couple of Hawkens. I am 68 years old and iron sights are not worth a hoot for me as they are just a big blur. I usually scope my elk rifles (an Omega and an NEF Huntsman) with 1.5-5 power Simons Pro-diamond scopes and usually leave them on 1.5 unless the shot is long and has time to spend changing the scope power. In the trees a 1.5 power scope is as quick to use as iron sights. Arizona allows scopes which is great for me.

open sites here...actually all thats legal in the flintlock season. i did put TC fiberoptics on it because i have bad eyes...all these years i knew i needed glasses..just never got em:eek: finally did...still like the FOs over iron sights..i still think my contact prescription needs refined..glasses are sharp but i hate wearin them..contacts help but arent perfect..i wish peeps were legal i can shoot with a peep better then iron sights..

I use open open sites on my Lyman, and a 3x9 Tasco on my Remington 700ml

this V-PEEP is legal..i put one on my .50cal hawkins muzzlleloader..it was a big improvement for my eyes.,

green fiber optic is best..you only want to see front sight clear not rear..it will be blurry some..

if you want rear sight real clear, have gunsmith move it TOWARDS the front sight..you may have to have him enlarge the v-peep hole as closer you go to front sight ,the more it fills hole..

i love mine and never would put scope on unless my eyes get worst..here is my friend that makes these sights..

www.rmcsports.com look under search using V-PEEP..
