I'd like to scope my new triumph, but don't have alot of money to spend, as this is my first muzzleloader and had to buy all the other goodies!What are some good scopes that won't break the bank?What rings and bases are good?

Konus Pro 3-10x44 is an awesome scope.

nikon pro staff or bushnell trophy are two that come to my head and won't break the bank.

bases and rings have plenty of choices.

Another vote for the Konus Pro. I use the 3x9x32 so I can mount it low.

If you're not hung up on high magnification, the Simmons 4X ProDiamond is a great scope. I have them on four guns and couldn't be happier. They are clear, light weight, compact, tough as nails, and have long eye relief.

Strange you should mention scopes lol. i have been looking for days and i am going to buy a bushnell banner dusk to dawn 3-9x40 200 MZ scope, to mount on my Triumph. there $ 79.00 shipped, this is a 200 BDC scope with 6" of eye relief made for muzzleoaders.the reviews on all the dusk to dawn scopes are excellent.we encounter longer shots here or i would go with the 4x32 simmons pro diamond like SEMISANE mentioned.going to give it a try and if i don't like it i will send it back.

IMO the base and rings are a very important part of the scope package that is often overlooked. I recommend the DNZ one piece mount for TC guns. They are solid and you will have your scope mounted quickly. This is the DNZ EER medium mount on my Pro Hunter. It's the same mount for the Triumph also. Depending on your scope you can choose between the standard mount or EER (extended eye relief) mount.



Check out Natchez Shooters Supply for an affordable scope. They run Simmons on sale all the time and offer factory refurbs also. I had good luck with the Pro Diamond 4x scope Semi mentioned. It handled alot of 3" mag sabot slug loads when it was on my Rem. 870 slug gun without any issues. Here is one example from Natchez. The 44 objective is one of my favorites.

I recommend the DNZ one piece mount for TC guns. and any good steel rings.I also recommend Nikon or Bushnell MZ scopes. I like what most consider very heavy loads and have wiped out a number of scopes with recoil including some of the brands other people recommend. I have shot some of my Bushnell and Nikon scopes for many years and never had a problem. The Bushnell Banner Dawn to dusk MZ scope and the two Nikon MZ scopes are my first choices for reliability.

Is is just personal preferance as far as scope mount height? I see DNZ has low ,medium and high scope mounts!

Medium works well as you can see on Omegas rifle. Ray
