Muzzleloader - scope or iron sights?

[Mount Sweetness]

Modern inline muzzleloader:
Do I really need a scope?

I am currently sighting in with a 1.5 to 4.5x scope, but would I be just as well off using the quality fibre optic TC Encore iron sights??

Are you really taking shots past 120yards with a muzzleloader?

How many people prefer iron sights on a muzzleloader...?
Who prefers a scope hands down?

Thanks for the help

Inline yes. Sidelock no
Atleast that's how mine are setup

My TC Prohunter is capable of "accurately" shooting deer out to just under 300.
Truly amazing potential.
I prefer scope hands down due to the ability of bieng able to evaluate horn features etc.

I prefer a scope, because for my eyes I can shoot better with one. Especially as it falls close to the time near the end of the day when the best opportunities seem to arise.
