rifle scopes for night
- Thread starter old folks

If you are using red led or red filters, a red dot may not help much.
Just get a scope that is clear for daytime use and gathers light well early and late, and it will be fine for calling with a light.

I am hunting with a 2.5-10 x 56 IR Nikon Monarch.
The scope gives me the option of a red dot or a green dot in the cross hair.
I preffer green as the red is just to bright for hunting during the night.
The dot has helped in a couple of instances where a jackal popped out of long grass or brush unexpectedly and I had to make a fast snap shot.
The moment the dot is on target the Varmint Grenade is running down range...
