1x muzz scope options

tshuntin · May 23, 2013

I am looking for any guidance for a 1X scope for a CVA Accura. I bought this gun a few years ago and used it one season with the factory open sites. Thinking of adding a scope to it, but Utah still currently limited to one power (1X) only. I have heard rumblings of allowing up to a 4X, but haven't seen anything that confirmed that will happen. Any guidance you can give on scope and rings/base would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, TS

I have a tc hawken hunter 1x fixed scope for my utah muzzle loader hunting setup. I love the fact that it has a fine crosshair which allows you to see your target. I ordered it online a few years back. I shoot the tc encore so it has a tc one piece base and the tc rings. I love the setup, shoot very accurately. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I also researched scopes and ended up with the TC Hunter Hawken also and could shoot decent groups out to 200 yds. I didn't try any of the red dot scopes as I felt I could be more consistant at the range with the cross hair and I was very pleased with the accuracy and consistancy. I didn't try anything further than 200. I will likely sell my scope soon as it was for a 1 time UT hunt which I'm now out of the running and have to shoot open sights in CO and I'll be too old to try to get a UT tag again.

I have two Knight muzzleloaders. I have the Nikon Buckmaster 1x scope on both of them. I wasn't the happiest with the scope as I couldn't get a full view with regular mounts. I later purchased offset mounts which allow me to get a full view as I could slide the scope forward. Love this setup, great shooting gun and full view now. Don't overlook the rings and bases as I did.

Good luck!

Check out this bad boy from Hawke Optics. Looks like it may find it's way to my T/C this year for a try:

I handled one at the ATA show this year and it seems perfect.

I've tried lots of different 1x scopes and red dots for muzzleloading in Utah. My preffered optic is an Eotech which I've used the last 3 years. For a conventional scope Nikon makes a decent 1x.

I have used the Simmons 1X the crosshairs don't cover up the animal and that makes it easier to hold a good sight picture on a kill spot.
