Scope Recommendations For A Inline

I just bought a CVA Accura. Most of my shots will be less than 75 yards, but my eyes are not what they use to be and I like clean kills. Can you recommend a good scope for it.

I like a low power slug scope such as this variable because they're economical and have very generous eye relief that helps to avoid scope eye.

The Cabela's Powderhorn 3-10X40 is a popular long range BP scope with some mixed user reviews. It has a ballistic crosshair reticle and comes with free shipping. Cabela's has a very liberal return policy if you don't like it for any reason. Ask them about the scope's guarantee.

For the free shipping offer on optics use code 5XVIEW at checkout through 6/4:

Any large bore rifle scope will work on a muzzleloader.
I like the Sightron S2 3x9, about 220 bucks.

Very clear optics, and very precise adjustments. Make 4 clicks, the bullet will move 1 inch.
Lifetime warranty, made in Japan.

Just don't crowd yourself on Eye relief. Any scopes indicate a dual rating of Shotgun/Muzzleloader. Stick with an aluminum tube. Might also consider a RedDot for that range.


Be Safe !!!

Here's another low variable power model for those on a budget. It's similar to the Bushnell slug scope above but with 4 inches of eye relief instead of 6 inches.

I like my ML scopes to be really light weight. The lightest decent quality variable scope out there is the Leupold VX-1 2-7. It works great on an inline.
