What scope (brand/model/magnification) would you put on top of your .50 muzzleloader given regulations that you can put a scope of any magnification on your smokepole- planned shots out to approx. 250 yds?
Thanks.
I might have mine tested and on by then. But if I were you I'd definitely mount a scope. For 90% of shooters, scopes will outperform open sights.
I can't say that I have shot it much but I researched muzzle loader scopes a couple of months ago. I started with the Nikon and Leopold muzzle loading model. After trolling the muzzle loader forums a while I ended up with a bushel elite 3500 based on some feedback there. So far very happy with it for $300.
Is a BDC type scope worth it for a muzzleloader? With the variation in loads how are they actually accurate? With the new Utah rule (which I think is BS) I will put a scope on my wife's gun next year, she has bad eyes. I would like a 1.5 or 2 power on the low end and whatever on the high end. I would not let her shoot over 150-200 yards.
