Powdered My X7
My sweet little Omega X7 has worn a Simmons 4X ProDiamond scope for the last three years.
As you guys know, I really like the ProDiamond and think it's the perfect size for most muzzle loaders (especially sidelocks
).
In fact, the first scope I put on the X7 was a 3x9 Tasco. I took it off two weeks later in favor of the ProDiamond because I just liked the looks of the smaller scope better on this little rifle. That 4X has done everything I needed done over the years.
But DANG IT, Cayugad started that Cabala's 3x10 Powder Horn feeding frenzy a few months back and I bought one even though I had no special plans for it.
Then Ronlaughlin started posting all of those long range shooting reports. BLAST YOU RON! And I started thinking about trying some 200+ yard shooting with the X7.
Suspecting that 3x10 scope might give me better chance for success, I got weak and put it on. It still looks a little too big on the gun to me, but I'll probably get used to it.
Anyway, next weekend will be the Powder Horn's first outing. We shall see.
