Have a Thompson Center Black Diamond 50 cal. Just got a Nikon Monarch Dot VSD scope. In Wisconsin can't use a scope on muzzleloader with magnification during muzzleloader
season. How can I mount the scope on the rear 3 tapped holes . The standard Weaver base goes over the chamber and would make tight quarters for loading. Would welcome ideas.

This won't work with that scope but is the best system that I have found for that rifle.  You could use a 1x Burris scope or use an aimpoint with 30mm rings.

If you use the red dot you selected it's set up for a weaver style base you are stuck with that system.  Note this gun throws a lot of flame straight up and will damage the finish on whatever is above it.  Knight rifle makes a scope protector that can be used with good success.

Would have to be a magician to get the VSD on to those mounts. Heck just go iron sights.
