Scope

[idcwby]

I'm going to open the can of worms. What is everyone's recommendation for a scope that would go on a CVA Elkhorn Magnum? I've been shooting 150gr of T7 pellets behind a 300gr Nosler Ballistic Tip.

Burris. They offer the best world class scopes at the sub $200 price range I think they're stupid. My most trusted scope is a $110 Burris 2-7X35. Killed more deer than probably everyone on this site combined. Lol, but not really lol.

I put a Trijicon Credo HX 2.5-15x42 on my SML this year. The glass is brilliant, the scope has a ton of features and it's built like a tank.

For your consideration..

I chose the Nightforce SHV 3-10 x 42 for my Rem Ultimate MZ. It has the illuminated center with the forceplex reticle.

SHV – 3-10x42mm - Nightforce Optics

The SHV™ 3-10x42 riflescope is a perfect choice for those wanting value in a small package. The 3-10x magnification range and 42mm objective provide for a practical solution to a wide range of applications from target shooting to big game and varmint hunting.

Here is what the reticle with illumination looks like:

Sightron S-Tac 4-20x50 is what I have on two of my muzzle loaders and the glass is bright and nice.

Just put a Vortex Razor 3-15x42 LHT on my smokeless really nice Illuminated reticle light weight and built tough as woodpecker lips

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Those all are more scope than this gun needs or can utilize. Maybe someday when I get a very accurate in-line, I'll get a scope to match.

I used a Weaver K4 scope for many years on my muzzle loader

Well, like you said….

I'm going to open the can of worms.

Hard to know what to 'recommend' without specific stated requirements. However, here's an afterthought. Good luck, Sir.

VX-Freedom 3-9x40 Muzzleloader UltimateSlam

Every shot counts, but when it comes to a muzzleloader, your first one needs to be on because there's rarely going to be a second. With the UltimateSlam® reticle designed specifically for muzzleloaders and shotguns, you'll have a clear image and accurate aiming points out to 300 yards.

I didn't realize people put that caliber of scopes on muzzleloaders. I'm thinking I need something similar to the Leupold you suggested, it would give me the bars to hold over to 300 yards.

Well, smokeless muzzleloaders are known for being 'healthy' in the recoil department and that's why I chose a Trijicon scope….they are built like proverbial tanks and the glass is exceptional….in my opinion, of course.
I've also been a firm believer in spending just about as much on glass as I do the firearm it's going on….when possible.
Considering you're shooting 150gr of 777 and a 300 gr bullet I would think recoil might be a little 'above average' for the black powder platform and I wouldn't leave anything to chance. Having said that, the Leupold would probably serve you well. Good luck, Sir.

Tagging in. I just purchased a CVA paramount and I'm looking for a scope to mount on it. Not really sure what direction to go.

Those are some great recommendations!
