Frequently Asked Questions
Is this scope designed for muzzleloader use?
Yes. The BDC250M reticle is intended to give muzzleloader hunters more useful holdover references.
Does this scope use illumination?
No. This version uses a non-illuminated reticle layout.
Why is the 3-9x format popular for hunting?
It gives enough low-end field of view for closer shots and enough top-end magnification for more deliberate aiming at distance.
