Muzzleloader scopes?

[FISHINGURU]

i want to put on a scope on the TC omega 50 cal for shotgun season...i was leaning toward the nikon omega scope but reading some reviews it says its not very good in low light conditions which is huge for a hunter...what good is a scope if you can't see your game at primetime?

any recommendations for a scope with good eye relief and good with low light conditions...would like to keep it under $300.

The Nikon Omega is a great scope. They have 94% light transmission and have not read any bad reviews on it. I know they are on sale as well at gm.

I have this on mine : Leatherwood Toby Bridges Muzzleloader Special Edition 3-9 x 40MM and I have bot has a problem in low light. This will be my third season using it. They run from 120 -175

hmmmmmmm i was reading the reviews on the cabelas site for the nikon omega and that was the biggest knock on the scope was how it performs in low light...they were saying it needs a lighted reticle.

a scope that performs great at the range but doesn't allow you to see your target during that first and last half hour would suck.

do you own one larson? have you shot any animals with it during the first or last half hour?

[Larson15]

Yes, I do own one and I will tell you that there is absolutely no issue with low light. Nikon has a whole line of scopes that use this same platform. I looked at the cabelas site to see what reviews you see and all is see is 5 out of 5's. 118 reviews with a 4.7 avg. is pretty good!

Go look at one of these in person you will be impressed. The eye relief is better than any scope on the market.

lol i pretty much read all 118 reviews last night and this morning and that was the only gripe about it was the low light..but i know how some people are whiners and sometimes you do get a dud so you have to decifer through all the [PoorWordUsage].

i'm gonna go to gander here tonight and get the nikon omega scope, a lazer boresight, and the nikon range finder.

p.s..that was one of the other knocks is the eye relief...people said the eye relief was to much and made you sit back to far lol.

do you shoot the 1.65-5 or the 3-9?

[Larson15]

3-9

[FISHINGURU]

good call larson....i went and got the scope and sighted her in tonight and it is a really nice scope...i was shooting right until dark...at 75 yards i could barely see my target with the naked eye but when i pulled the scope up i could see it really nice..in fact my very last shot i blew up an ocean spray bottle we filled up with water at 75 yards.

[Larson15]

Nice work, I knew you would like it!

[FISHINGURU]

yeah its a great scope, nicest one i've owned....took it out all day today from dark to dark hunting and it had no problem at all in low light...its really clear and the eye relief is awesome. the few guys with bad reviews must of not had the scope focused in right or have it adjusted well enough for them.

i seen 19 deer today and a real nice buck...didn't get a shot on him i let all the other keep walkin..15 or so of the 19 where all in range with nice shots...passed on a 6 and 2 forkers...must of passed on about 10 does some were big it was hard to resist...watching deer and other wildlife through your scope is fun and it kills time lol.
