Depends on what you want to spend. On my ML I have a Simmons Pro Diamond 4x32 scope, actually designed for shotgun. Works great and has held up well. At shotgun ranges, it's likely all you will ever need. Less than $50.

I recently went with the Leupold Ultimate Slam, 3-9x40, it has the ballistic reticle out to 300yds for slugs, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300.
It's a VXI or VXII shotgun model designed especially for slug guns/muzzleloaders

That Zeiss Conquest is a great choice. It blows away any of the others scopes mentioned in this thread so far. IMO if you can afford the price of the Zeiss, you won't get anything as good, or better unless you take a huge step up in price.
It really just all depends on your budget though. If you only have $100 to spend, those Simmons actually get good reviews from many of the muzzle loading guys.
If you only want to spend $200 or so, I'd look for the Vortex Viper on clearance or a Burris FFII. If you can spend more, go for the Zeiss for sure.

Depends what kind of eye relief you have with your gun. Years ago I mounted a 4x32 Leapers rifle scope right on the tube of an old 12 Gauge single shot to use for a slug gun. it still works good with countless rounds through it. The recoil on most single shots is quite violent but there it is . Sometimes cheap is good.
