i'm goin' to put  scope on my T/C endeavor and just wonderin' what kind of input y'all might have on what power i'd need .. i'll be huntin' some in open areas and if times get tuff and i might have to wade into the bushes to up-jump a big ole buck.. i don't want to mess with a variable,just something i can put to my shoulder in a hurry if i have to and not fumble with any settings.. don't think i'll be shootin' 200 yards like i've heard the t/c will but will take a shot at 100-125 yd's..also,,are peep sights a must on the muzzleloader..i probably have an idea or two ,but just wantin' everyones opinion that has scoped a muzzleloader b4.  thank's

Never would'a believed it myself, but I bought a shotgun for my kid that had a pistol scope on it. Man, I'm here to tell ya that baby throws up on a deer unbelieveably fast. The smaller scope may make loading/cleaning that M/L easier to.

if you aren't looking for a variable scope, i would look for something atleast a fixed 6-8X that should be good for ground cover and enough magnification for those longer shots, I had a 1.5 - 5X turkey scope that was just barely enough for 100yds but was poor for low light conditions so a bigger optical lens should be considered also.  Let me e-mail mike to see what he has in that area, we have done a considerable amount of business and he has ALWAYS been fair, fast and right on with what Iv'e been looking for.  He should get back to you soon--

if its allowed in your state you may want to consider a red dot or reflex sight. trijicon ones don't take battiers which may be a loophole for you, but otherwise i would say either a fixed 4x or 6x. IMO anything over 6 you will probably get lost in the hair and wont be able to have good shot placement if you are taking a close shot. another option might be a 6x or 8x, but with see through rings so you can still use open sights when they're close, but still have the glass to be comfortable taking the farther shots.

So what's the word????

I have a 4 power, a K 4 Weaver I bought at a yard sale for $5.00 It is a great scope on my T/C plains rifle a side lock.  the T/C Hawkins with a peep site works great too.
