Nikon Omega 250 Load Recommendations

The Nikon Omega 3-9x40 rifle scope was developed specifically for muzzle-loading shotguns, with its size, optics and reticle -- the aiming guides, such as crosshairs, that a shooter sees when looking through a scope -- designed with shooters of such firearms in mind.

  1. Load Recommendations

    • The Nikon Omega rifle scope is intended for use with .50 caliber muzzle-loading loads, 250-grain bullets and 150 grains of pellets or powder. However, Nikon states that the scope's reticle will still work perfectly for shooters using different bullet weights or powder charges because it can be customized to their firearms.

    Dimensions

    • The Nikon Omega rifle scope is 11.3 inches long and weighs 13.8 oz. The tube is 1 inch in diameter, and the outside diameter of the eyepiece is 1.65 inches, with the outside diameter of the objective end measuring in at 1.94 inches.

    Optical Features

    • The Nikon Omega rifle scope offers a magnification range of 3X to 9X and a field of view ranging from 8.4 to 25.2 feet to aid in sighting large animals. Nikon's BDC-250 reticle allows shooters to compensate for bullet drop within the scope when shooting at ranges greater than 100 yards.
