RE: scope question
a muzzleloader scope and a rifle scope are basically the same thing. The thing you need to keep in mind is eye relief and I like to keep the scope short, so I do not have to remove the sights on the rifle.
As to some good scopes in 3-9x40 would depend on what you want to spend. I like around a 4" eye relief. I also like the short scopes around 11-1/2 inches. I personally like the Nikon Pro Sport but I use the 2-7x32mm and have been real impressed with it.
Good luck in your search for a scope.

RE: scope question
rifle, shotgun, and muzzleloader scopes are all in the same class. I think a lot of companies advertize a "muzzleloader scope." Now there are some scopes that really are set up for muzzleloaders, but again.. any of them will work. I have Millet Bucks, Bushnell, and Sightrons also on rifles and they all shoot well...
