1st off, I do not own a Savage Muzzle loader....From my experience, the scopes in package deals are not top of the line stuff. They are usually Simmons or Bushnell scopes and they are not their best scopes. They are at bottom of the heap or near the bottom. Some guys will be happy with them, many will not. Most state laws spell out "muzzle loading" as a requirement, not the use of black powder. If black powder was a requirement, then Triple 7 and Pyrodex would not be legal. Where do you draw the line? You will have to check your local laws to be sure. Some purists only think you should use a frizzen pan, no caps, in-lines, shotgun primers, etc. There could be a whole book written about the merits of what is ethical what is not and what was intended when laws were written. Check your local laws, it will spell out the requirements for your "muzzle loader".
