[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2858918, member: 36999"] I got one to better increase my chances in muzzleloader season when they restricted our rifle season. I used to hunt with a flintlock but when they removed doe from the first week of our rifle season I had to increase my effectiveness in muzzleloader season to make up for the opportunity loss during rifle. I personally think the scope thing is bassackwards, powder and bullet limitations do far more to change the effective range than any type of optic. Just look at the bellow chart for a .50 cal maxiball, Inline with sabot, .45 cal with Blackhorn and high BC bullets and .45 cal Smokeless with High BC bullets. No matter which way you slice it the best scope in the world isn’t making that .50 Cal with Maxiball any more effective past 200 yards but that Blackhorn rifle still shoots flat enough to use past 300 yards with iron sights.
