Any one use a red dot scope/sight for their muzzleloader? I'm thinking of getting one for my buckhorn.

For me, the red dot is too large for a fine aiming point at further distances.

Plus, they generally have no or very little magnifacation.....hard on old eyes

And they have a lot of parallax to them. If you mount one just move your head around and watch how much the dot moves. You really have to keep your eye centered or they can shoot off by quite a bit. h.h.

Oh, and they use batteries that don't last forever...

Probably not the best choice on a muzzleloader. For the price of a good one, you can pick up a decent scope. Look into some of the models with lighted reticles if that interest you.

I had a Tasco Pro Point on a MLR for awhile. Finally took it off.
I like precision shooting. Plus I would sometimes forget to turn it off.
Now i have a 1.5 X 5 scope.

With the accuracy of muzzleloaders, you are only hindering yourself if you don't put some magnification on top of them. Besides, most dots cover 4 to 5 inches at 100 yards, that does cannot lead to precision shooting.
