[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 890371, member: 33046"] We've been discussing this for a little while in MI. I think when it comes to a "muzzleloader scope", that's just marketing and they're very good at that. Its what sells to muzzleloaders. I made phone contact with a tech at Leupold and began to ask some questions. A couple he couldn't answer. But, Leupold has extensively tested scopes, on centerfires, off from lead sleds. Their testing results show that the lead sleds "Have no issues or concerns with our scopes". When I asked questions about force and energy, that's when the tech couldn't answer them. He told me that he'd refer those questions to an engineer. Well that went over like a fart in church......... I have but won't post the return email, where I was told that I was asking to many technical questions and it was assumed that I was calling on behalf of another manufacturer. OPTIC ESPIONAGE!!! The engineer declined to answer any of my questions. Leupold has no data nor do they use a muzzleloader in ANY testing of their scopes. The only information that Leupold will cough up, is that they test to the recoil of a 9.5# rifle, in .375 H&H cal. to 5,000 rounds. Its funny that they'll allow a film crew inside the facility to video and I think its Chuckhawks that has a partial video of it. Yet when a consumer asks a question about forces, they consider it OPTIC ESPIONAGE? [/QUOTE]
