I am looking to put a new scope on my knight krb7 muzzleloader, which is stainless, so I want a silver scope. I was looking around and found what looks like a great deal on either a Simmons Aetec Scope (2.8-10 by 44) or Simmons Prohunter (3-9 by 40). My questions are, these are both rifle scopes, can I use them without any problems on my muzzleloader. Also, how do these two scope compare to one another. Finally, are they a decent quality scope (I'm on a budget). The prices are 79 (aetec) and 54 dollars (prohunter)
Thanks for your help!

You shouldn't have a problem with the Aetec. We have pretty good luck witht those scopes especially for the price. |

Don't get too caught up with getting a silver scope. There is a very slim chance that it will actually be the same color. Matte actually looks really good on stainless. I would concentrate more on quality of scope. Simmons are ok but I always lean towards Bushnells for scopes in that price range. You can get a NIB Bushnell Legend off of ebay for around $100. Well worth the few extra bucks.
