Default Scope for Encore?

Anyone have any recommendations for a scope for a .50 T/C Encore? Are the scopes with T/C name on them any good? Anyone tried a Simmons Aetec on a muzzleloader?

I have the Encore ML and have mounted on it the T/C 1.5x5x32.
It has proven to ba an excellent scope for the money. Typically I am a " gold ring" guy but this was a gift and so far so good!

I have used a bushnell elite 3200 and now have a elite 4200 on my ML. Very pleased with the elites performance. I know of 6 guys who use the elite 3200 on their ML' s and all are very pleased. If that is to high of price, a buddy uses a Bushnell Sportsman and it has been fine as well.

I use a Simmions Whitetail Classic 3.5x10x40 and it works great on my Encore and worked well on my CVA Firebolt Ultramag. It has also stood up to alot of use on a .300 win mag

Goodegg,
I put a 1.5X5 Weaver Grand Slam on mine and I really like it. If you put a scope on your Encore, you will absolutely want to put a hammer spur onto it also so that you can cock the thing.
