Scope for a muzzle loader?

Featured Replies

HI everyone,

 

I finally got a muzzle loader, it is an entry level gun, a Traditions Timber Ridge 209.  

 

Shot it this weekend with open sights and it didn't do too bad for a first time out.  By the end of the day I was able to group shots pretty consistently at 75 yards.

 

I definitely want to get a scope for it, any recommendations?  I don't anticipate hunting much beyond 100 yards, but would try to punch paper out to 150+.

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

Traditionally a 1-4 power scope is the choice.

 

Any time you are moving set on 1 power and use the higher magnifications as you must.

 

An illuminated reticle is a plus

Thanks Old School, much appreciated.  Are there any brands/models that you recommend?

You can spend $125 to sky's the limit. 

I wouldn't spend a lot of money.
