Default Which scope will be good for a muzzleloader?

Hey guys i wanted to buy a scope for my muzzleloader but wasn't sure which one to buy and how much power. I was wondering if this one will be good enough for a ML. I wont be shooting no more than 150 yards. Also which power should i get it?

That is the ultimate BP scope on the market right now! Nothing but good reviews.

You have the Nikon prostaff listed. I just got the Nikon Omega and it is an awesome scope. Anyway I would get the Omega with theBDC, it has 5 in of Eye relief for mag loads. Theomega comes in 3x9 40 mm.

For hunting I use a 1 X 4 X 32 because of the light gathering capability, a 2 X 7 X32 04 40 works well to. Lee

Here is my 2 cents and I know some of you will agree that is about all it is worth....

Bushnell Elite 3200 2x9x40 with the rain guard lenses - virtually no scope cpvers needed - it works...

Either the 44m or the 44b - the ballistic Reticle in the b is really nice....

That scope is fine for one in the $125 range. So is the Sightron SI, Bushnell Legend or Trophy - plus the Millet Buck Gold.
Either 2-7 or 3-9 power works for 150 yards. You need to decide if you want a 32 or 40-size glass.
