Any recommendations for a night vision scope or adapter for use in hog hunting? Generation III is not in the budget unless one fell off the back of a truck.

Also any thoughts on either a red dot or fixed low power scope with illuminated reticle for use on the Smith 22lr AR?

 

only dealings with NV ive had was some issued monocular 1x.. Not sure who made it or whatnot.. but it was like HD TV in pitchblack dark.
and using a Aimpoint M2 with NV settings. Awesome!!

 

Talking with some border patrol guys the other night out in the marsh and they had thermal out and letting use look though them,not a bad way to spend 7-8 grand a piece on them,but when the government is paying who cares right?

Thermal was sweet,cuts though fog,smoke,I thought the range was a lot better too,100 yds out and you could tell the difference pretty good.

 

Im in the Marine Corps, and the NVG's we use are monocular, we also have binocular nvg,s but when you're walking around with a weapon you obviously need an eye open, but the cool thing about the monocular is that you can keep both eyes open and theyre designed to simulate binoculars, and I swear I could see perfectly for about 400 yds. I could see figures mainly but not faces. We also have a thermal laser that attaches to the rifle called a PEQ-15 that creates a thermal laser that you can only see with NVG's so its pretty sick and allows crazy accuracy.

I think you could get some of these NVG's for around 2-3 grand and peq-15's... well dont even count on it. lol

 

I dont know anything about nvg's but, I would love to go out hog hunting with you and am jealous... living in San Diego, The closest I get is taking my Dog to the canyon to catch rabbits/gofers...lol

 

Thermal is the way to go!! but from $5-30k yea its gonna hurt!

 

Back to Earth - I'm going to be shooting hogs with subsonic ammo so max range won't be much over 100 yards. Although it's nice to dream.

 

Q beam.... ha ha ha

 

x2...

 

How do you manage the Q beam if you're hunting solo? And do you use the white light or a red lens?
