Does anyone have any comments on this scope? It says on the literature for pistols and shotguns. How about a muzzleloader?

    If it can handle the smack from a 12ga Slug gun, it can shrug off the push from a Muzzleloader.

    I haven't been much of a red dot fan. I like a little magnification. A red dot would be ok on a pistol, but a Muzzleloader such as these modern rifles are 200yd guns. A red dot just doesn't suffice.

    For the money you are planning to putting into that red dot, you could get a somewhat decent 3-9x40 riflescope. Cabela's Pine Ridge looks like a promising scope. I think you'd be better suited with a riflescope.

    Good luck, let us know what you chose.
    Half of the lives they tell about me aren't true.

    In Wis. you cannot use magnification, but they are talking about changing that. Id wait if I knew that for a fact or knew how to check on it. I tried two peep sights, but it didnt work out well for me. I paid more for the peeps than some Red Dots, and now they are obsolete.
