astigmatism is why I got a Primary Arms prism for mine. |

I’ll bump for Traditions scope! Bought one for my Optima V2, bore sighted the gun/scope and went shooting. Was on paper at 75 yards immediately and after 6 more shots this was my group at 100. 3 50 grain Triple 7 pellets with a 270 grain Federal BoreLOK coming out at about 2100fps. Primed with Winchester Shotshell primers. I had to clean after every 3rd shot it seemed like, I might try white hots in the off season for a cleaner burn. I can’t stomach the BH209 price yet This was my first time ever shooting a muzzleloader and man do I love it! |

I bought one to try and I literally threw it in the garbage. Reticle is too thick and it's like a 1/2 power. I can see the target better with my naked eye. Was highly disappointed. |

That is a huge bummer @buglebuster I wonder if there is a mass amount of allowed tolerance in the product(allowing for a range of decent scopes to junk ones that hit shelves) or if it’s just the difference person to person. I will agree I can MAYBE see the target better with my naked eye, but definitely not with a peep sight covering the entirety of it at 50 yards even. The scope is definitely lower quality than any other I own but for me, it homes me in on target and the crosshairs are a lot finer than a peep sight! I guess it definitely just depends on personal preference perhaps and what works for everyone! |

I have fuzzy eyes also which got worse in the last two years. I ditched the Williams peep and went with the Primary Arms on my Knight Disc Extreme. Knight also makes a one piece rail that has a cutout over the breech that makes it easy to install the cap or primer. I ordered the scope online and purchased the rail from Bob’s in Longview. They installed both for free. |
