Muzzleloader scope recommendation

[Rambo]

I picked up a cheap CVA muzzleloader and now I need a scope. I stopped in and looked at a Nikon inline XR which is what I had my eye on but I noticed a Sig Whiskey 3 that felt pretty solid. I noticed it said made in the Philippines and designed in Oregon so I didn’t know who was behind the actual manufacturing of it. The Nikon is 200 bucks and the Sig is 160. The biggest difference I saw was the 5 inch eye relief on the Nikon compared to 3.5 on the Sig. What say y’all.

My vote is Nikon. I have two on ML's and they work fine.

 

[Rambo]

Which Nikon are you using on your ML?

 

[Tim Neitzke]

3-9x40 Monarch on mine , IIRC.

I have a 20+ year old Weaver 1.5 fixed power on my Knight inline. Works very well for deer hunting.

I have a Weaver Classic 4x shotgun scope if you're interested.It's only been on a .22Lr.I can let you have it for 100 bucks including Butler creek flip ups and shipping/ins.Mint condition.

I have the inline. Its really nice, so nice in fact that 2 guys in my hunting camp swapped out their scopes for the same!!

I have a redfield 3x9x40 revolution on my cva optima. But I would have no trouble choosing the nikon.

I’m sure there’s cheaper options that work fine but I use a Nikon omega on mine. Lots of shots (over 800) and no problems.

I have a Leupold UltimateSlam 3-9x40 FireDot-R SABR on my Thompson Center Pro Hunter, and have been happy with it so far.

800 What?

I’ll settle for the 800 shots.

I think the Nikon Inline is the way to go. I think it is a better scope than the Whiskey3.
