RE: Muzzleloader Scope????
 

I use the Bushnell Elite on my ML's, has worked great, holds POI,tracks true, good optics and excellent price point. I agree if you plan on stretching your shots than buy a variable2x7 or 3x9, if not a low variable or fixed will work nicely. I have never used a shotgun/ML scope on my inlines I have just went with a rifle scope - never had an issue with reliabilty, eye relief, parallax setting or power range.

The bushnell banner, trophy, sportsman or legend would be other choices to consider. I know smokepole shooters who use all these scopes on their inlines and haven't heard any complain.

I use a Leupold VX-II 2-7x33 on my Knight DISC and love it! It almost always stays on 4x mag.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

Buy a Leupold!

Lifetime warranty
awesome optics
It will stay dialed in
It will hold it's value

I tried a Bushnell and now I'm on a first name basis with their customer service. It's not worth the headache. In WI 1X is the only scope you can use during the ML season. Leupold makes a red dot that seems to be the way to go. I have a Holographic sight now because Bushnell gave it me for next to nothing because of all the problems I had with their scopes.

By the was Leupold customer service will bend over backwards for you.

My thought is buy an excellent scope and you should have it for life.

Look for a scope with a 50yd paralax. I shoot a Knight and don't have to remove mine to clean my rifle.

(I's go with the Leupold variX-II with the 1/4 minute knobs in 2X7 or 3X9X40 You don't need a 50mm objective or a vari X-III)

I don't care what's the "best deal" I want the best scope for that one time you need it.

This is just my opinion, I am also partial to good optics because I am a Law enforcement sniper.

By the way, Leupold is also not the best scope in the world. I would say it's somewhere in the middle. The high end are Night Forse, Zeiss, and Swarvoski to name a few. (or the Leupold LPS series).

Dittto ,very happy with this scope.Get the shotgun model parallax is set at 50 yards instead of 100 yards

I have the Savage with a Leupold 3x9-40mm VX-II, Warne rings and bases it`s a sweet set up.;)

RE: Muzzleloader Scope????
 

Not to be taken in offense but my question is why a scope on a muzzleloader anyway? I do understand some people have bad eyesight and it would be a much added bonus. I have a friend who wears trifocals and opensights are just about out of the question. here in colorado its illegal. But for no further than a person shoots a muzzleloader is there a reason for having a scope on one?

cherokee-outfitters,I realize Co. has a no scope rule I will be hunting there this Sept. draw providing.But My muzzloader will shoot 150 to 200 yards consevativly.I can not do this with opened sights.A scope is a great help for magnification as well as low light conditions.I will be removing my scope and using a peep for Co. elk,but I will be more limited on range,those are the rules of the game there so I'll play by them;)
