He wasn't serious. Just another jab at me.

Why not look at the Weaver K4 4x38? It's all you need for a ML. Nice and light, and glass is from ***an. ??..Can't say Ja-pan?

Even Leupold gets their glass from Asia.

The Leupold Riflemans are a joke. I'd rather have a Simmons. There is no way I'd pay $150 for one. The most I'd pay is $100 for one in nice shape. I've bought several VX-I's for under $150 with some searching.

I sold a VX-1 for $140. I bought it new, and it went to the range once. Not even any ring marks.

Deals can be found. Especially from me.

Theres a lot of truth in that statement. i scope and sight in a few dozen muzzleloader rifles every year. IMO: Simmons muzzleloader scopes are equal to or better than the Leupold Rifleman.

I have a 6 or 7 year old shotgun/muzzleloader heavy duplex on my mk85. Back then I really don't think it had a vx1 or vx2 designation. It is in my opinion the best muzzleloading scope out there. I bought it for around 249 from a company in Pa that is no longer in business or has changed their web site. My scope has great optics and is solidly built. I would believe the new ones are as good.If it were me I would go new from optic planets.
