Any suggestions where to buy a 1x scope?. That is all you can use for muzzle-loader hunt in Utah.

Traditions has their 1X32 Bronze scope on sale for $35 if you don't mind a camo finish, or else the same scope with a matte black finish is $57.

I looked through one of the Traditions 1X32 scopes and it had a little bit of "fish bowl distortion". It's not too bad for the price but if you want a higher quality 1X32 scope then AFAIK the $125 Thompson Center Hawken Hunter is one of the only other affordable 32mm scopes available:

I have a Nikon 1x20mm EXCELLENT SCOPE cost $129.99
(2) Thompson Center 1x32mm EXCELLENT SCOPE but I broke one already. Was replaced for free. Cost $99.00
Traditions 1x32mm So far a very good quality scope. Cost $50.00

there is a store near me (40 miles one way) that sells the Traditions Scopes. If you ever want, I can check and make sure they still have some in stock. These are all black mat finish.
