best muzzleloader scope

looking for a muzzleloader scope. never had one one my gun before but figured id give it a try. i use my muzzleloader all throughout the season so i might as well get an upgrade. just lokking for reccomendations around the $100-$120 ish range… thanks

Nikon buckmaster II

I have the Nikon Inline XR on mine. It’s $100 more than you want to spend though but it has the BDC reticle which is nice. I can get 2 inch groups at 200 yards with my Pro Hunter FX.

Look on the hunting side. There is some threads on muzzy scopes there.

Think in terms of 3 or more inches of eye relief as being the best scope.

Vortex and Nikon are popular while Leupold is also right in there as better scopes. The Bushnell Banner and Trophy are scopes are right in there. I have some Simmons Pro Hunter scopes on a couple of my smokers, one a 50 cal the other a 45, and they have been super dependable with decent eye relief and both under the $100.00 mark with real nice glass.

Do some snooping at http://www.OpticsPlanet.com and check out the whole line of scopes there. Most everything found there that will work on a medium to high powered rifle will work as will just about any scope designed for a shotgun.

thanks guys

When it comes to scopes you need to look at where you will be hunting the vast majority of the time. If you’re in the woods and not making long shots (100+ yards) I would look at the Bushnell Banner 1.5-4.5. This scope is also good for kids and short range hunting because it’s easier to find a deer when the scope is zoomed out and it still gives them a crosshair to put on the deer rather than iron sights. For a good all around a would look at a scope in the 2-7×32 area. Still good in thicker woods and can still make a decent range shot. If you’re hunting a over a large open area look at a 3-9×40. Nikon and Vortex are my go to scope brands. Both have good eye relief. Leupold scopes are typically lighter, but I feel the eye relief isn’t as good. Also have heard great things about Vortex’s customer service if you ever have to deal with them.

I bought mine when EVERYBODY did, when they became legal. Wanted a NIKON Buckmaster, but sold out… went with the comparable Cabelas labeled one, $99 for scope and $39 for mounts, very happy with it.
