Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders T/C Omega Scope

Thinking about buying a leupold 30 mm cds scope to put on top of my muzzleloader. I'm currently shooting 275gr parker bullets being pushed by 100 grains on blackhorn. Am I crazy for wanting to put a scope like that on there?

I love my Omega. I have a Leupold 2-7x shotgun scope on it and it works great.

I have a Leupold Ultimate Slam 2-7 on my Omega. The SABot reticle has aiming points out to 300 yards. Not sure why you'd need anything more than that.

Just curious to how far you could really stretch a muzzleloader out with accuracy

Easily 200 yards with a scope. That's as far as our range goes. I've never shot at a deer over 175 yards in CT. Most shots are under 100 yards around here

200 yards I'm 10" low, 2" high at 100 yards. I'd like to experiment 300-400 just to see

The Blackhorn site lists the velocity of that load as 1852 fps. Plug your numbers into a ballistics calculator and you'll get data out to 500 yards. I use the one on the Federal website but I think Hornady has one too. You'll have to guess at the BC on your bullet unless Parker lists it. Maybe .225

I use the Vortex Diamondback 4-12X40 Dead Hold BDC on all my builds. Great scope, extreme low light, one hole accuracy over and over with magnum bh209 loads. Make sure you also get a good scope mount and rings like the DNZ that comes on them.

I have a Nikon bdc right now. Nothing wrong with it, just prefer leupold and like the cds option
