Nikon Sport Optics has introduced what promises to be a breakthrough in
optical sights for hunters shooting muzzleloading rifles - Nikon 3-9x40 Omega
Riflescope w/ Matte Black Finish & BDC 250 Reticle. An actual dedicated
muzzleloading riflescope, the new Omega 3-9x40 rifle scope with BDC-250 reticle
was created to help shooters take advantage of the full accuracy potential of
their muzzleloaders.
According to Nikon, Omega is the first riflescope to offer a bullet drop
compensating reticle designed specifically for muzzleloading loads and
ranges—taking the guesswork out of where to hold on longer shots. The
Nikon 3-9x40 Omega Riflescope was designed to utilize .50 caliber muzzleloading
loads -150 grains of Pyrodex (pellets or powder), 250-grain bullets--and ranges
(out to 250-yards).
The BDC-250 scope has a a trajectory-compensating reticle designed and
calibrated to provide fast, simple aiming points for various shot distances.
This unique system integrates a series of small “ballistic circles”—each
subtending 2” @ 100 yards—allowing an unimpeded view of the target. (At 200
yards, the circles are 4”; at 250 yards, they are 5”.) The reticle is
designed to be sighted-in at 100 yards, with aiming-point circles at 150, 200,
225 and 250 yards.
Initially designed and tested with Thompson/Center Arms’ popular Omega 50
caliber muzzleloaders, the Omega scope with Nikon BDC-250 reticle provides the
muzzleloading hunter with practical and effective long range shooting
accuracy—the kind of accuracy normally expected from a center fire rifle.
With light transmission boosted to a maximum of 92% by means of Nikon’s
famous lens multi-coating technology, the Omega riflescope has the capability to
bring game into sharp, clear view--even in low-light hunting situations. A
generous 25.2-8.4-foot field-of-view also makes getting on a trophy animal a
breeze. The Omega Riflescope is equipped with precise, 1/4-MOA click
reticle adjustments and a full five-inches of eye relief for even the hardest
kicking, magnum charge loads. Omega measures a compact 11.3-inches in
length, and weighs 13.8 ounces.
