Hunting & Fishing NV Scope Recommendations for Hog Hunting?

[an1913t]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes anyway.

A friend of mine is thinking about picking up an NV scope for hog hunting. Does anyone have any recommendations or things to stay away from?

Thanks.

I use this: http://www.swfa.com/pc-7391-565-yukon-25x50-varmint-hunter-night-vision-rifle-scope.aspx .

It is Gen 1 and in my experience is good to only 100m maximum even with the IR turned on.

Who makes the D740/760?

The NV tube inside is a ITT, but the scope itself is Russian made.

I just returned froma hog hunt in texas and used an NV capable Eotech with a PVS-14 and an IR laser.

Worked GREAT

Re: NV Scope Recommendations for Hog Hunting?

First choice would be thermal, not NIR tubes.
Second would be a PVS-22 or 24
Third would be a Raptor 4 or 6x
Fourth would be an Aimpoint/Eotech with a PVS14 behind it
Fifth would be a good scope
(focus on light transmission qualities and clarity) with a PVS 14 behind it
