Can not sight in new accura Mr-x (advice needed)

I just wasn’t thinking of dialing with a muzzy and figured most use a BDC for em

No, most of us with scopes on our muzzys are not using “muzzy” scopes or those with BDC reticles.

I wouldn’t waste my money on a cheap (sub $300) scope. You couldn’t give me a cheap Burris or any Vortex. Check out the Trijicon Huron - affordable and tough.

There was an SWFA 1-4x on the classifieds here for like $275. I think that would make a great muzzleloader scope.

Scope Field Eval Explanation and Standards

This will be about the “why” of the field evaluations- specifically the drop “tests”. Let’s have a thought experiment. Let’s say you have spotted a buck across a valley, planned and executed a stalk which when you get to the last little knob up ahead, will put you within 400-450 yards of the...

You’ll save yourself a lot of trouble if you read this. No scopes are impervious to failing but basically the only ones that don’t fail OFTEN are nightforce, swfa, and some trijicons. Below is a running list somebody made of scopes that have been proven.

What’s your budget, OP?

What scope would you recommend? I can’t see myself buying a nightforce or anything crazy unless it was something like a paramount pro that I knew I’d be shooting 300+ yards with. Being my first season with a muzzy, maybe I don’t appreciate it enough yet but I’m sure I will if I see some bucks this holiday hunt/season. It’s definitely another weapon & advantage that a lot of hunters don’t utilize up here in the Northeast as much as say, the Midwest. I will say, if I drew a Kansas or Iowa, or any western state mulie/elk tag I probably would immediately go for the best optic I could afford and go beyond the “muzzleloader” directed scopes and get something like another razor LHT or VX3-HD at minimum.

More budget minded:
-Trijicon huron
-If you got a few months wait for the SWFA fixed 6x that they say will be restocked in Q1 and/or the 3-9x. Or find a used one that isn't over priced.

If you're talking razor LHT level of money:
-Other trijicon models at various price points
-Maven RS1.2 (not any other models)
-Nightforce SHV models
-Used Bushnell LRTS / LRHS

Other scope might work okay and/or for minute of deer shots but you're dealing with a fair bit of recoil and already have a question mark on confidence in the system, buying a scope that is hit/miss doesn't answer any questions if you end up still shooting a shotgun pattern. You'll be asking if you got a bad sample of a new scope or if the gun is the issue. The above scopes aren't infallible they are just statistically far less likely to introduce questions into your setup.
