Nebraska Game and Parks Commission Legalizes Magnifying Scopes For 2008 Muzzleloader Season
Posted by DDH Staff

With a 5 to 3 vote, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has legalized the use of a magnifying riflescope during the December muzzleloader deer season. The decision came after the Board of Commissioners listened to public input on the issue during its meeting on January 17 in Lincoln.

According to a Nebraska Game and Parks official, the meeting was well represented by muzzleloading hunters. Some were there to support the regulation enforced up until now, which prohibited the use of a magnifying riflescope during the late muzzleloader deer season. Others were there to demand change, claiming that the open sights or non-magnifying "Red Dot" or 1x scope that had been legal were inadequate for precise shot placement.

Good! I'm for any improvement that doesn't give an unfair advantage. If some hunters are opposed to magnified scopes, then they can just use unmagnified scopes.
