Anyone try the Nikon Inline XR scope yet?

[Jeremy_K]

I'm trying to find out if anyone has tried one of these scopes out yet. They have the BDC reticle which can be used to compensate for ML bullet drop. I've been considering trying it out on my TC Encore muzzleloader. I have a Burris Fullfield 3-9x on there now which is nice and clear but I'd prefer to use a drop compensating reticle. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1320120085/nikon-inline-xr-muzzleloader-scope-3-9x-40mm-bdc-300-reticle

No scope can know the ballistics of your load, therefore it cannot know the amount of bullet drop.

I have a mz scope with bdc. It tells you what they calculate it using and what distance to zero your scope at depending on bullet weight and powder charge.

I have one, it's a nice scope.  I really haven't had much of a chance to shoot with it past 100 yards though, so I haven't played much with the BDC calculator.

The BDC style scopes are great if you are shooting out beyond 100 yards. I have the Leupold Ultimate Slam 2-7 x 33, which has a SABR reticle, on my muzzleloaders and 3 years ago I decided to bring one along on an antelope hunt in Wyoming. I was able to take an animal out beyond 250 yards. I never would have even attempted that shot without the SABR reticle. If you do get one make sure you spend the time at the range getting it dialed in properly. I also found that using the maximum powder loads gave me far better results down range.
