One tip with a musket put a piece of military type duct tape on the bottom of the scope to protect where you get ignition flash which can burn the bottom of the scope. On a musket I would probably use the 3-9x42 mainly because its way smaller than the 5-20x50 and with a musket you will probably be limiting to around 300 yds unless you spend a lot of time on the range getting it dialed in so that you know the trajectory. We have shoot deer out to almost 400 yds with a TC Encore Musket but we practice out to those distances and it requires a lot of range time to know how much correction to dial in with a musket a trajectory is almost like a 45-70. I really like the 250gr Barnes sabot with the blue tip.
