New Scope | 300 yards in low-light

[Caseknife]

Thats a good idea, start this thread over on Rokslide, they will get up set up for sure and help spend your money.

 

[Mr. UML]

Current Models In Consideration:

• ZCO ZC840 | FFP | 8-40x56mm with MOA or MPCT1X Reticle (link)
• Nightforce ATACR | FFP | 7-35x56mm FT with MOAR-F1 Reticle (link)
• Trijicon Tenmile | SFP | 4.5-30x56 or 5-50x56 (link, link)

If anyone has any useful input on these, I'd be very grateful. Thank you!

You are going the wrong direction with all of this business. The coonskin hat is a must.
In all fairness I guessed at which resolution might paint the clearest picture .

Ironically, I also have a Kentucky Deer Rifle Muzzleloader that shoots .50cal balls and when I hunt with it, I only wear a tri-corner hat.

What scope? mtmuley

No scope, iron sights only, just as our forefathers had.

 

[TheTone]

This might require a Rokslider. mtmuley

Caliber being talked about is .277 too big for them

Good point. mtmuley

Wtf did I just read?

 

[idahojoe]

Move the corn pile and blind closer… maybe 20 yards? That way you’ll only need 35x zoom.

What size of groups does this muzzleloader shoot at 300 yards?

Haven't shot it at paper, but I can hit the 6" gong consistently. There's people on that website I posted that regularly can shoot 2" groups at 300 with it.

FWIW, I shoot 0.5-0.75" groups at 100, 2-3" groups at 200. I'm not an expert though.

See ya. mtmuley

Yeah, you are.

 

[Mr. UML]

Yeah, you are.

Not even close to one. I have 30 years of experience, but I won't claim for a minute to be better than the next guy.

Putting the hubble telescope on a blackpowder rifle is the weirdest thing I've ever heard of.

It's not your typical blackpowder gun.

Also - folks that are unfamiliar with this gun and how outstanding it is should look at this page here.

The dude in the 3rd pic shot his with peep sights at 357 yards seems like such a precision weapon doesn't need a 40x scope but what do I know

32mm tubes

I certainly don't know anyone who makes a 32mm tube...FYI tube diameter does not = light transmission. It allows for thicker tube walls to be sturdier, allow for more adjustment, and a larger zoom ratio. Modern optic coatings took care of that for you.

I can hit the 6" gong consistently

but can't find a deer kill zone of 8-10"?

OK I'm done...I'm going to put the OP on ignore and waste my time point out flaws in argument with someone on Rokslide for a bit

Reddit has what you need.

Why would your atypical blackpowder gun necessitate an abortion of a riflescope that I'd never put on a 1000 yard+ precision centerfire?
