Taking the scopes off muzzleloaders won't limit the range of the gun. I started hunting long before scopes were common and 200 yard shots were normal using open sights. I will say that it would be much better for the game with quicker cleaner kills using scopes but I have no qualms shooting as far as I want with open sights.
