Leupold scope recommendations for Encore Muzzle Loader.
« on: July 23, 2006, 05:11:19 PM »
I recently purchased my first Leupold Scope.  It is a Rimfire scope with A.O.  This is a great scope and I can not believe how clear and bright.

My next scope will be for my Encore Muzzle Loading rifle (this will replace a Simmons 2-7 power scope).  Gun and I am good for 150 yards, but my typical shot is 50 to 75 yards.   

Anybody got a Leupold on a smokepole thay want to talk about?

Thanks,

Fred

I am using the Leupold 2x7X32 on my Encore, I also use the new Nikon Omega scope on my Encore Pro-hunter. Both are great scopes. The Nikon is designed for long distance shooting. But if you are going to stick to under 100 yards the Leupold 2X7X32 will work great in my opinion.

I don't believe it either, ;D  but hell if something works, I am going to recommend it. But If Leupold would of made the same thing, it would of been the Leupold I recommended. I have been waiting for someone to see this and knew I was going to get ribbed about it. Hay I'm not to old to learn.  :D
