I just ordered one with the Nikoplex reticle because, after reading more I figured the BDC will be pretty much useless with the Savage using smokeless powder so, I decided on trying one of these out.

Next thing to work on is a strong 2 piece mount Ken Farrel has some. but I am open for other brands. I want the material to be steel.

Reason going for a 2 piece is it will allow easier access to INSERT IGNORE primers.

And the breach plug will be easier to check.

Good luck getting it to fit a Savage short action with 2 piece bases. I would be very interested in the rings if they fit.

Farrel makes a one piece especially for the MLII. It has a little more room than the standard round top one piece base but it appears to be taller too. DNZ also might have something that would work.

How will the Nikon Monarch 1-4x20 Scope fit?

I recieved the Nikon Omega 1.65-5x36 Nikoplex scope today.

Here is what I think.
The build quality seems good. Optics are clear and sharp. Eye relief is to much for my taste. I understand what GM54-120 commented about. I feel it is a good scope for other muzzleloaders but it will take a one piece mount to work on the Savage ML-II. The scope does not have much room near the turrets so adjustment will be limited.

It will be sending it back and decide on a Leupold VX-2 1-4x20 or the Nikon Monarch 1-4x20 . The nikon already has the German #4 Reticle and the price is $279.95. The Leupold will be much more when fitted with the #4 Reticle so I might try the Nikon.
