1x scopes vs open sights

Will the bases that fit the bighorn fit a disc extreme?

Yes.  I have both a disc extreme and a bighorn.  Same bases fit both rifles and the screw hole spacing is exactly the same.  For the Leupold Quick Release bases you want to buy Remington 541 bases.

What is the size of the group?  One inch bullseye?

it’s got to be a couple inch bullseye , still got to get it tightened up a bit but I still got time
Definitely a improvement over open sights for some things but I think if hunting in thick dense Westside terrain open sights are better

I put the 1x Vortex on my G4 and had 3 out of 4 touching at 40 yards. Hopefully I'll  get 21/2 to 3 at 100.
It's been a long road for me. Started at 18" at 40!
The scope definitely helped as I was still 4" to 6" without it at 40 yards.

Nice group! I noticed my groups tightened up at 100 yards with the 1x vortex. The scope does have a thick crosshair, but I’m still shooting better than I did with peep sights.

Nice group Jake but put the target on a stump instead next time dude

I started the getting the scope dialed in this weekend.  I have been on a waiting list for the vortex 1x for 3 months.  Bob's got in a order of the Traditions 1x scopes in, and I  decided to give one a try.  I only shot out to 50 yds so far, but I don't hate it.  I definitely shot better with the scope vs. my peep site.  The 3 hole group was my last 3 shots.  I now need to move out to 100 yds and get it zeroed.    Dave

Is this a gun issue or are you just learning/practicing?

A lot of modern muzzleloader seem to be able to shoot MOA groups, maybe a little bigger. With a 1x scope I’ll be expecting touching groups with 1/2” slugs!

I’ve had the opposite issue. For me it’s hard to gather light with a peep site in thick stuff. Especially in the mornings and evenings when you most likely find elk.

That is exactly why I took the peeps off of mine and my sons muzzys. Cost me at least 1 elk.

Using a 1x Prism for me has been major step up for me.  I have to wear glasses to shoot open sight any more that 100 yards.  With a prism you get a diopter like a traditional scope so you can set focus and the benefit of etched plus illuminated reticle.  So you can see it illuminated in very bright or very low light or turned off if you don't prefer illuminated.  100 yard group using 777 FFG and 300gr bullets.

That looks good! What prism are you using?
