bushnell scopes
I just got a cva optima, along with a bushnell banner dusk to dawn 3x9x40 scope for christmas. My question is that I saw on I think it was cabela's web site that there is a regular bushnell scope and one for muzzleloaders. Do I have the right one or does it matter?

RE: bushnell scopes
Look at the specks of the scope and see what the eye relief is. You might be thinking of the scope they claim is for a shotgun and muzzleloader. As long as you have 3.5 inches of eye relief I really do not think you will have any problems. I personally like 4" of eye relief as I tend to over concentrate on the range sometimes and get reminded by the scope to pay attention. I think my Bushnell Banner Dusk to Dawn has 3.5 inches of eye relief and it is working fine.
I think you will really like the light gathering ability of the scope and the fast focus of the scope.

RE: bushnell scopes
I've been using a Bushnell Banner Dusk to Dawn 1.5-4.5x32mm on my Thompson Center Black Diamond for almost two years now and the scope has worked flawless. The clarity and focus of the scope is excellent. I have set it once and never has it gone off center. It might have been an inexpensive scope when I bought it, but I am very happy with it, other then I wish now I had got the 3-9x40 instead of the 1.5-4.5 power. I find most of the time I have it on the 4.5 setting. On the range I wish it was more for longer distance shooting and checking targets. I think you will be real happy with it.

RE: bushnell scopes
I saw a dusk till dawn 3x9x40 with 6" of eye relief on Bass Pro. Its number is 38-883-242-00. On Busnells site it says for shotguns or lever saddle guns. I might get one of theses myself. Maybe you can exchage or get a refund and get the one with more eye relief.
