What scope?

[buck hunter]

Hey guys, just wondering what scope to go with on the Thompson Center Triumph? I was thinking of going with the Nikon Omega. Any and all thoughts are greatly well heard. :)

I have a TC Triumph as well. I also have the Nikon Omega scope on it. It is a excellent scope. I don't think you will be dissapointed with it.

Thank you guys for the replies, that is the scope that I have been going to go with since I bought the gun in early January 2009. Have been putting off getting the scope because after all there is still time to get it and well here it is time has almost ran out. Nothing like being last minute.
Blackcloud what type of powder and bullets are you shooting out of you t/c. I am using triple seven pellets @ 100 grain, and 250 - 300 grain shockwaves.

The omega scope claims to be accurate out to 250yds if you use 150 grains. I use 130 with the shockwave sabot and sighted the cross hairs in for 50 yards and had to make a mental note of what each of the dots represents. The first dot for me was 100 yards. So far the furthest shot I've taken on a deer was 70 yards so i'm confident I wont need to shoot over 100yards unless I'm traveling somewhere.

All of my optics are Burris. Ballistic Plex reticle is great too.

Great quality and a good value. Just can't afford scopes that cost more than my rifles.

Not sure of the model, just checked it and it does not say. it is a 3x9x40. What I like about it is that it has a extra knob on top. Just turn it ant the crosshairs light up. green one way or red the other. Makes twilight shooting easier. Got it two years ago a Zeus in EHT.

Question for you---- why are you only shoting 100 grains and not 150???
When this sport started in N.J. about 20 years ago the sidelocks that were available could only shoot about 80 grains. Then the first inlines were able to handle up to 120. Now they can handle 150.

I have a Cabela's Pine Ridge Lever-Action Riflescope on my Encore. Here's why. Purchase the version for the 45-70. The 45-70 load has the same ballistics as my Encore with 110 grains of 777 and the 250 grain shockwave, so the extra stadia are 'on' for 200 and 300 yards.

That seemed like the way to go to me. If you do it, you'll need medium height extension mounts, the eye relief was too 'generous' for normal mounts on my rifle.
