A good night scope at a good value

Use a green Kill light and save yourself $2000+, Laser Genetics, or Elusive Wildlife.

Can't use a light saber in my state but can use ir on hogs at night.

Oh really, well that sucks, no flashlights either? That puts the hunters at a disadvantage since we do most of our hog hunting at night with lights...too poor to afford NV.

There are several tiers in NVD's:

1) the roller skate: IOW, the Gen 1 stuff. If your traveling, not even worth your time.

2) the tricycle: IOW, the Gen 2 stuff. It will get you there but your speed's limited, and you're gonna be fatigued.

3) the Yugo: sure its a car, but would you really drive one if you could afford anything better? This is the ATN of the car world.

4) the Gen 3's. Sure, you can still pick among the Chevy's, Ford's and Cadillacs, but they are all >>>>>>> Yugo.

I have used the M845, but I don't own one. It can be bought for just under $2000. Did you know that most Schmidt & bender scopes are > $2200? A Brand New Zeiss or Swaro is > $2000. This is high quality Gen2 Super High performance NV for < $2000.

Its one of the best values out there. You can also get a blem PVS-14 or perhaps even used PVS-14 for around $2500-2750.

This ^^^^^^ is both entertaining and informative. Lots of good info wrapped in a funny metaphor.

Does it have a pin hole cap? If so you can use that during the day, but there may be some POI shift with the cap off at night. It should get you real close though.

At night I just use a white target with black shoot-n-see circles on it. Basically the same as day, but I use a little bigger circles. I've never looked through a Gen2 SHP red dot, but a 6" bullseye at 50yd and 12" at 100 should be plenty big to see well and sight in with.

Only thing that sucks is you cant see the bullet holes, so lotsa walking.

As of Aug 1 we can use NV any where in NC I believe if you have a nusiance permit you can shoot at night now.
