? about scopes

[beavis]

I am a newbie to muzzleloaders but am having fun learning.  I have a T/C Black Diamond and would like to scope it.  Do I need a specific muzzleloader or shotgun scope for it or can I use a regular centerfire rifle scope with it?  I have access to both a shotgun and centerfire scope.

I had a Black Diamond a while back.  You can put any scope on it that you would normally put on a centerfire.  It doesn't have to be a "muzzleloader/shotgun" scope.  You should be prepared to get that scope and rings messy with fouling from the open breech area on the Black Diamond.  That was the main reason I traded mine off, I didn't like getting an expensive scope charred everytime I went to the range.  But on a sidenote, the BD was a very good shooting rifle if you don't mind the mess it makes!

Well welcome to the world of Muzzleloading. I have found the Leupold 2X7X33 to be a great scope for my Encore Muzzleloader. I would say get the shotgun scope if you have access to it.
