I am in the market for a fixed 4 power scope for my inline muzzleloader. I am leaning towards Weaver Grand Slam. Can anyone provide a recommendation for a medium priced fixed 4x? I am not in a position to purchase the high end German glass. Thanks.

Sounds like a good choice.

Make sure that the Grand Slam has enough eye relief for you. Those muzzleloaders tend to kick.
There are a few nice 4x scopes out there that do not cost and arm and a leg. They are all rugged (Weaver K4 is probably not quite as durable as the rest of them) and well made, and I will list them in order of decreasing optical (best to worst): IOR hunting 4x32 (~$270) Sightron 4x32 (~$200) and Weaver Grand Slam 4.75x40 (~$230) Leupold FX-II 4x33 (~$270) and Burris Short Mag 4x20 (~$170) Weaver K4 4x38 (~$130) I own a version of IOR 4x and it is excellent. I also have a Burris 4x20 and it is a very nice little scope. I've owned most of the others at one time or another. Burris has the most eye relief of the bunch I think and is also the smallest and lightest. SIghtron is a good choice as well as probably the best glass for the money. Ilya |
