Default whats the best muzzleloader optics on the market?

Hey all, Just bought my first muzzleloader, had some cabelas gift cards from christmas burning a hole in my pocket, and i got a tc 50 cal. it can take the three pellets so i guess its shooting capability is around 250 yards... with my eye sight im thinking optics...

anyone who has personal opinions on the subject or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I use the leupold ultimate slam and really like it. The redial dots seem to work well with a three shot load and I feel very comortable shooting out to 250 yards. Also having the warranty shop in okatoks is a bonus also.

Its a muzzy... just slap a run of the mill 3-9x40 on there.
I have cheap old Bushnell Banner on mine and its waaaay more scope than the rifle needs.

Also bought a muzzleloader (haven't fired it yet) and I was wondering if a bigger eye relief was really needed?

Cheers!
