Muzzleloader scope options
« on: July 27, 2025, 05:40:59 PM »
Was looking into getting a scope for the muzzy this year... A Knight Wolrverine... I've checked out the Leupold Freedom red dot, Trijicon, and Vortex... Thinking I'd prefer one with a cross hair or t post... Any recommendations???

I spent money on a trijicon red dot, shouldn’t have bought the 3 moa, the dot at 200 yards takes up the entire target.  My son in law bought the vortex muzzy scope, same thing with his cross hairs, guess we aren’t shooting longer than 100-150.

Every place I've checked the Vortex scope has been sold out... Didn't realize it had that big of a crosshair...

I went with the Traditions 1x muzzy scope and could not be happier with the results.

Thank you... I ended up ordering Leupold 541 Remington bases, Leupold PRW2 medium rings, and a Traditions scope... Just waiting for it all to get here...

How big do those cross hairs look at a target out to 200 yards?

I was wondering the same... Thinking an elk may be an easier target then an actual target...I've looked through it at the store... Seemed ok...

I have a couple of the Traditions 1X scopes.

I think they have a very fine crosshair - much more so than the Vortex.

Am I just confused here?

I’m not taking shots at 200 yards with my front stuffer but it’ll be a killer at 100
My traditions has a small cross hair and a circle.
 I like it.
