Hoosierbuck Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Re: Muzzleloader Scopes I have an older model Leupold 2-7 VXII on one of my ML's and it is a nice scope. With the Encore you shouldn't have as much of the problem dlr referred to above, but I get that with my older Knight, so I know what he means. If you like Leupold go with them, it's good to have confidence in your scope. HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Re: Muzzleloader Scopes Got a bushnell 3-9X40 on my black diamond, an dit serves its purpose fairly well. If I were looking to spend in the $200-$250 price range for a scope, I would go with the nikon monarch in a 3-9X40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widowmaker Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Re: Muzzleloader Scopes I just bought the Leupold Rifleman made for shotguns and muzzleloaders and works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Re: Muzzleloader Scopes Use a regular rifle scope on your ML. Since you are fond of the gold ring scopes, get another. My ML guns wear Redfield Tracker, Nikon Monarch, Nikon Titanium, Burris Fullfield II, and a Sightron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyt03 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Re: Muzzleloader Scopes I would go with a nikon prostaff,monarch, or the scoped you already like on your rifles. I did not like those omega ml scopes b/c the pre set bdc never seemed to match the yardages it was meant for. Go with what you like and what you have on your rifles.

Tecumseh Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Re: Muzzleloader Scopes I went with a Leupold VX-1 3-9 muzzleloader scope on my new encore and so far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andymansavage Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 here in Utah we can only use fixed 1x scopes on smokepoles. I have a Nikon Buckmasters and a simmons 1x32 shotgun scope. Both are great. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
