Just purchased a new inline 50 cal. I would like to put a nice scope on it capable of 200 yard shots if needed. Any suggestions will be appreciated! Arthur Olds | ||

I would recommend a Leupold M8-6X if you can find one, and the 42mm exit reticle is better than the 36. A 4X will work, but the six is much better, and it will do all you need to do out to 200 yards, including working up loads. | |||

I ran a 4X Nikon Monarch on my Knight for six years but this past year swapped it for a VariX II 3x9x40 I am pleased with being able to change the power for sighting and longer shots that 4X might have been just fine but ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||

I never felt the muzzle loader shot flat enough for more than a 2.5X..but then I like a 2.5 or 3X on about any modern weapon, at least for deer and elk. Never have I felt the need for more scope in big game hunting. Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

I find that most hunters enter the field way over-scoped. That is how a friend centered a 3 inch sapling ten yards in front of him whilst using a 12X scope on a wild boar at 50 yards. Trees don't show up that close. | |||

I use a 3x9 on mine 90 percent of the time it is on 3X. | |||

Have to say +1 to Ray. I scope most all of my hunting rifles with something in the 2.5 to 4 power range. My favorites are the 2.5 power scopes intended for turkey, or so they advertise. Has a small circle in the center of the reticle. Very fast to acquire the target and fire. Dave In 100 years who of us will care? An armed society is a polite society!

Make sure you cover the scope up well with electrical tape or similar before shooting. DAMHIK. | |||

I use a Weaver V3 and it works great for me. Larry "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history, when everybody stands around reloading" -- Thomas Jefferson | |||

With the range of the newer in-lines, powders and projectiles, I would use a good variable power scope, similar to what I would use on a high power rifle. Most newer in-lines are capable of over 200 yd. shots, no problem. JohnP | |||

I've got a couple savage smokeless Muzzle loaders. I run a fixed 6 FX111 on the one and a VX3 3.5-10 on the other. I haven't found the 6 to be any sort of handicap, but granted most of our muzzleloading is done in relatively open country. The variable is usually just left on 6X anyway. | |||
