Default scope for my kodak

Well after missing a big doe opening morning of muzz here in TN,I decided that i would go ahead and put a scope onmy kodak.Can anyone reccommend a scope.I don't need nothing fancy,cause i only get to use it one time a year and we are only allowed 1 deer in the part of the state i hunt.So the cheaper the better.Does it have to be a muzzleloader scope or will any rifle scope work?

Bushnell Banner Dusk to Dawn 3-9x40 mm with the 4" eye relief. It has excellent clarity, light gathering ability and are tuff. You can pick them up for around $70.00 and they are really a great scope for the money. I am sure they would do well on your rifle for what you want.

Sounds like a good recommendation above.
Any good quality rifle scope will work fine, but I'd avoid the cheap ones. I just picked up a 4X fixed power Alpen Optics scope and it seems to be OK, but sighting in was challenging. 10 clicks up might equal 10 clicks up, or it might translate to 4 clicks up + 6 clicks left. [:@]Once I got it sighted in it's staying put, but it isn't the best scope I ever owned. To be fair it was a cheaper model that manufacturer offers and I picked it up for just over $10. on eBay.
