I shoot 3/4"100 yd 4 shot groups after adding the traditions scope.  It does have a finer crosshair than the Vortex.   I did not go to the 1x scope so I could stretch the yardage.  I have always had a 150 yd limit on my shots, and I will continue that.  I will just be doing it with a much clearer sight picture.  It is crazy how much clearer I see my target compared to my peep sight.  15 yrs ago my peep had a very clear sight picture, but at 59 not so much.

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

Do you have a link to the scope? What muzzleloader are you using it on. What did you use for rings and bases? Thanks!

Scheels has the Traditions 1x for around $80.  Should be able to get info off their web site.

I looked through a Traditions 1x at the store and put it back on the shelf. It just looked and felt to me that it was something that would come on a 100 dollar bb gun. I know a lot of people are using them and liking them. But it sure wasnt for me.

I felt the same way about them.

I have both the vortex and traditions. Vortex looks like you’re sighting down a tunnel and 100 yards appears to be like 200. Traditions doesn’t have that tunnel but I have not had it to the range yet to comment on performance.
Shut up and Hunt!
