If I was needing a red dot....I would look for a one MOA reticle.  The sig sauer Romeo 4 would be one I would consider.

I think I just hit the lotto.  :tung:

Found one of these in my under ware drawer. Have it mounted on a contender barrel that I haven't sighted in yet.

Now I just need some gorilla tape and I can mount it on my sidelock and be "Golden"

I think red dots will work great but if that battery dies it would be better to have a scope with a reticle that is still black if the battery does die. I would prefer fine cross hairs with some kind of BDC but I might look into a detachable red dot that I could take off and use my peep sight if needed. If the rail would sit low enough. Probably next year. Hopefully it doesn’t pass though. I’m still on the no glass/electronics for muzzy team. Keep those rifle hunters out of the muzzy season.

This one is on eBay.  I need to find a nickle plated muzzy to match it.  Growing up, I had good luck with Tasco.

85 bucks.  Im going for it. :dunno:
That looks like a pistol scope.

That is one on my short list. I just wonder if it’s to high to float your face off your stick to get a good sight picture?

It is, going to need a raised cheek piece... probably go with one of those old school leather ones, you know to keep with the traditional aspect of muzzleloaders..  :)

This is the one I put in my wish list on amazon incase I do pick up a dot sight for the muzzy. I like the multiple aim points some dots like that one offers. I have a fixed 1x scope but don't like not having other hold points or dials with it.

I hoping someone does a 1x with dial or bdc reticle with the market that going to be popping up if this passes. I have been working the guys I know at sig/vortex and leupold.

Bummer!  Got a 1x Weaver scope off ebay.  Came quick and nice to look through BUT the cross hairs have a monstrous dot at their intersection.  must be 10 moa crosshair dot.  Without the dot it would be great.

Back to the drawing board !

So it kinda sounds like the scope thing on muzzleloaders isn't going to go through this time. I guess we'll know for sure on Friday which way it's going to go.

:yeah:
Fairly certain scopes will not be approved.  Maybe they will take another look in 3 years during the next cycle  :dunno:  Betting April 10th there are a lot of 1x scopes for sale  :chuckle:

Glad now that I was outbid on the 1x scope on Gun Broker a couple weeks ago.  :)
