Nevada legal muzzleloader

DeerHunter53 · Apr 9, 2018

Hey guys new to Muzzleloaders and was wondering if you guys can steer me in the right direction.

I am looking at the CVA's but was wondering if you can have an scope on your muzzleloader or if it has to be open sights.

And what would you recommend buying like I said I am looking the stainless steel one is that a good one to buy.

Nevada has a no scope rule. Only open sights. I like the Thompson triumph muzzleloader. Shoots accurate and easy to clean.

Nevada does allow a 1x scope for hunting with a muzzleloader. You have to apply by permit with a signature and reason from your eye doctor. I basically cant shoot open sights anymore because of my eye sight now. I have to wear 2.0 readers to see anything up close now. I have two TC's which are both awesome.

scottfisher That's the first I've heard of that, interesting.

Is the Remington Ultimate muzzleloader legal in NV?

Then on that page...

Sight Attached to Firearm, Bow or Crossbow
A sight attached to a firearm, bow or crossbow may be illuminated or powered by:

A battery contained within the sight;
Light gathering fiber optics;
A radioactive isotope such as tritium; or
Iridescent or fluorescent paint.
The sight/scope may not cast or project a visible beam of light (Refer to NAC 503.145). The Department may issue a scope permit to a person with a visual disability. The scope permit authorizes a person with a visual disability to hunt, during a type of hunt that is restricted to bows or muzzle-loading firearms, using a 1 x magnification rifle scope that is mounted on a bow or muzzle-loading firearm.

(Refer to NAC 503.146)

And...
Muzzle-loading Rifle and Musket
(Refer to NACs 503.142 & 503.145)

During a ?Muzzle-loader-Only? Hunt:
Caliber
Firearm must have a single barrel of .45 caliber or larger.

Ignition
Wheel-lock, matchlock, or flintlock ignition system, or percussion ignition system that uses a primer or percussion cap; (in-lines are permitted.)

Legal Projectile
Lead ball, lead bullet, semi-jacketed bullet or a metal alloy bullet that expands. A saboted round may be used.

Sights
Only open sights or peep sights are permitted; scopes prohibited. A sight that is operated or powered by a battery, electronics or a radioactive isotope such as tritium is prohibited.

Powder
Only black powder or a black powder substitute may be used; smokeless powder is prohibited.

This should answer all the questions.

Judkins,

P.M. sent

DeerHunter53 · May 30, 2018

Does it help that much, is it worth it to put the scope on with that little magnification?

cannonball · May 30, 2018

Judkins,

It is a sightron 1X scope. Cost was over $150.00. Will sell for $35.00 FOB South Central Utah.

cannonball

does the 1+scope help at all? I am getting older and the open sights are hard at 100 yards just wondering

cannonball · May 31, 2018

Yes it helps for those with old eyes like mine, if you can't use magnification.

cannonball · May 31, 2018

The cross hairs don't cover up what you are shooting at like post and rear sights do.

buckhorn · Jun 1, 2018

I found an open site set up that actually works better than a one power scope. I live in Nevada and do qualify for the visually impaired scope permit. With the help of a few MM members who loaned me their 1x scopes to try I wound up settling on the open sights set up using a Lyman front globe with a fine crosshair insert and a Williams adjustable Peepsight on the rear. You will actually get a bit more magnification from your naked eye ( thanks to elkassasin for pointing that out to me) than you will with a one power scope.
Good luck. Hope all works out for you. P.m. me if you like for detailed info.

cannonball,what is the lens diameter? I tried to find that scope years ago and I thought they discontinued it.

Bwht4x4 · Jun 1, 2018

I use the exact system Buckhorn mentioned on my T/C Omega. It's a pretty slick system and is about as close to a magnified scope as you can get and still be legal.

Judkins,

It is a discontinued scope. I'm not sure of the lens diameter and the only thing I know is that the fellow I purchased the gun from paid 150.00 to 160.00. I do know it is really clear and one of the scopes every one wanted when a 1X was needed.

kalielkslayer · Jun 11, 2018

I use a fine front blade and a 6 0?clock hold. The sight doesn't cover the target because you set it up so your point of impact is above the sight (barely).

That's at 100 yards, at 200 I hold high on the shoulder.

Works for me.
