I had a couple of scopes laying around so I put a Simmons 3x9 ,40 on my Accura and my Tradition has the 3x9 40 that it came with.

3 2-7x33 Leupold VX-1's, 1 Leupold VX-2 2-7X33, 1 Leupold LPS 1.5-6X42, 1 Nikon Monarch 2-8X32, and a Zeiss Conquest 3-9X40. The Nikon I've had for less than a year but so far so good. The VX-1's I've had for several years with no problems. The VX-2 I've had for over a decade with no problems. The Zeiss and LPS are my favorite scopes. Great light gathering ability and clearity plus the Zeiss has a fixed 4" of eye relief at all magnifications.

My guns get beat around in the truck uncased because hogs have the habit of popping up almost anywhere. Went through a bunch of cheap scopes before i wised up and upgraded. One of my CVA guns has the Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X, the CVA Mag Hunter has the Burris 4X Short Mag scope. My Encore has the excellent Zeiss Conquest 4X32 and my Black Diamond has the Leupold FXII 4X33.

During our muzzleloader season in Wisconsin, we are only allowed non magnification scopes. So when hunting I use a Nikon 1x20mm, (2) T/C 1x32mm, and (2) Traditions 1x32mm depending on what rifle I decided to use that day. All of them IMO are a lot better for aiming then open sights for me.
When playing at the range I like Nikon, Bushnell, Simmons, and a Traditons depending on what rifle I am shooting that day. |
Swifter Premier 2x7x40...awesome in low light and fast on target
Simmons 3x9x32 ML scope...gift 2 Simmons Pro Diamond 4x...hard to beat on a carbine for the money CenterPoint 4x16x40 IR...for long range target shooting on my Accura 45. Its held up very well for a cheap scope. RedField Revolution 2x7x33 is next to replace the cheap Simmons 3x9x32. At only $129 its a lot of scope for the money and Made in USA. |
I needed two muzzy scopes last fall and after some positive info on this site I bought two of the Cabela's Pine Ridge 3x9x40 Ballistic scopes that were being discontinued. Great value, I think I paid less than $50 each for them on sale. Better in low light than I thought they would be.

I like heavy loads, with a muzzleloader they are hard on scopes. I have had Swift, Redfield and Tasco scopes that the recoil knocked out and I have a couple of Weaver 2 power I have had for over 25 years that are still good and some Bushnell variable power for 10 years that are still good but the Nikon Omega is what I like the most though I have only been using them for about 4 years.

I have two hunting MLer's that I have put scopes on. First is my H&R Sidekick:
![]() This is a 2.5x scope from Tasco and is just right in my Virginia woods. For any long shooting areas I have a Knight Vision with a Leupold Ultimate Slam 3-9x 40mm: ![]() Both scopes were designed for ML shooting. I have had good quality scopes on MLer's that had broke and I had to send back to the factory for repair. I don't do that anymore. |
