"The primary purpose of this proposal is to allow the use of technologies for archery equipment and muzzleloading firearms that have previously been unlawful. It also allows for hunters to use dogs to track wounded game. More specifically, amendments include:
1. Allowing the use of 1x or red dot scopes on muzzleloading firearms."

Red Dot Scope on a muzzleloader? I had no idea that was in play. I got like four of them!

They put the red dot in because they make them in 1x.  They isn't many straight up 1x scopes.

Just found my my 1x scope.  Should be here by the end of the week.  Will be all sighted in for spring bear.     Might as well get a trial run.

What did you buy.   Curious.  Not seeing much out there.  A few Hawke crossbow scopes is about all other than red dots.

If there are any issues, there's a guy in Montana that specializes in bringing them back up to like new. I haven't used him, but considering sending him one soon.

That was it.  Until OP comes thru with the Red dot I ordered.  But a crossbow is what I will be hunting with.  Still not sure I need a 1x.

Well there are scopes available on the used market.  I posted a want to buy on another forum today and picked up three 1X scopes.   A new Vortex, a Traditions and a Pentax Lightseeker SG.  All at very good prices.

Are these red dots, or reticles?  I am not finding much that isn't red dot...

That’s because the hunt wa crowd are buying them all up off eBay lol

I'd probably order the Viper PST 1-4 if I was deadset on a scope vs a red dot. Have Vortex fix it at 1x.

Like was said, jb weld at 1x, sharpie over the other markings.

I'm wondering if there is potential to damage anything doing jb weld? I remember once using JB weld on 1/8 in. painted sheet metal and it melted the paint off the opposite side. Not sure if it was heat or chemical reaction or what

If you can't find a "scope" then buy a red dot.....it will work just fine.  Get one that allows you to change reticle design and has a minimum 2 MOA dot, if not a 1 MOA dot.  Sig Sauer Romeo 4 comes to mind.

Good luck.....mine has been backordered for over 4 months.  I'm thinking it is not coming.  I found two used Nikons and snatched them up quick.  If I were you, I would be looking for a second option.
