[QUOTE="Packrat 6, post: 999072, member: 80288"] My brother just left here on his way back to Texas, but before he left, he asked me about getting a couple of Night Vision scopes for our Rifles. Seems that we cleaned out most of the Hogs in early June, but he is starting to see them coming back around the pond on the property lately, mostly in late evening. We had discussed night hunting them before, but seems like night hunts is all that he is going to have time for in the immediate future. I told him I knew of some people with more experience at this sort of thing that might be able to help us so he said go ahead, so here I am. Maximum range of about 150 yds (Hill and brush country), and he said keep the cost down, so went shopping and everything seems to be bracketed into the $500 and under bracket or above $1200 up to more than I paid for my first house. Very little between the two prices. Looking for something that might be used twice a year at most, so $ considerations are important. Don't need the best, just something that will do the job. Can also put 12V battery or Chem light IR lights over feeding areas near the pond to help illuminate the area if the range isn't that great on the scopes or ancillary illumination. Illumination doesn't have to be that great, but scope clarity does. Any suggestions? Bruce [/QUOTE]
