Will one of these work on your rig?

 

The Omega has a 40mm objective, so the low's should work for you.

Thanks for the reply cheaptrick,those look like some nice mounts,not sure if they would work on my setup or not.Kinda new to scopes and such(bowhunter mostly,bought a muzzeloader  about 2 years ago and just getting around to putting a scope on it,the omega is the first scope that ive owned)so im not sure exactly what i need.Just want to make sure that i purchase a set of mounts so to not have any problems when i mount it and sight it in.I found a post of a black diamond xr that looks exactly like mine.Maybe u can tell more about what would work for this.

I have only shot a few smoke poles, my friend.

The link I provided say's it'll work on a T/C Omega, or so I thought. 

 

Have you searched the Muzzleloader Forum?

 

Try to give SWFA a call tomorrow.

They should be able to help you further.

Ohh sorry cheaptrick,the scope is an omega but the gun is a black diamond xr which is made differently than the omega or encore.The gun i have is a couple of years old and primer exposed unlike the newer style muzzeloaders.Ill give swfa a call and see what they have to say,Thanks again for the reply.
