Looking for a Reliable Scope
 
Just wanting to see if anyone can give me any ideas on what scope i should get for my Muzzle-loader. Ill be hunting open woods most of the time.

I've looked around but just haven't felt comfortable with any yet.
Looking for something that's not pricey but something that will last.

What's your price range?

Blraney 11-24-2009 12:33 PM

Anywhere under 150$...That's cheap for a scope i know.
But I don't want to spend to much on this.

Nikon Prostaff, Bushnell Banner or Trophy, not much in your price range. Check out the bargain cave at Cabelas or the clearance section at Midway.

This is from learned experience. Purchase a scope made for a shotgun or muzzleloader. I went thru a couple of scopes on my T/C Black Diamond. They last a short time then wont hold a zero. The gun was shooting great groups then shots were all over the paper. I did all the checks and cleaning, no joy. Changed scopes and right back to shooting great groups. This happened twice; I would go with a T/C scope or a Nikon.

I have a Leupold VX-I on my T/C Omega. I have less than $100 in this scope....deals can be had if you keep your eyes open.

I would recommend a scope chief from bushnell I have one on my muzzleloader and it is an awesome scope.

The best bang for the dollar in scopes is a fixed power scope like a Nikon Monarch fixed power scope. They are brighter and sharper than variable scopes costing 2X the money.

Spend the extra money and buy a Leupold....it is worth it.

Look at Vortex. I hear the optic quality compares to Leupold and the warrenty cannot be beat. If there are issues maybe this will get someone to post about them. Everyone i have read whoa has had problems (where they were broken/dropped etc) got replacement. It is not one of those manufacturer defect warrenties that nobody backs up. It will be my next scope:D
