Gentlemen,
I am very interested to have you share your experience hunting with rifle scopes in the night time. Louisiana is having their second year of night predator hunting begining last day of Feb through last day of Aug. and i plan to gear up for it.
Questions:
Non-Illuminated reticle setup:
Know of someone who has hunted with a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x 40mm? How well does the Wicked Hunting Lights (or other brand scope mounted light) produce the reticle when night hunting with a non illuminated scope? Please see the Wicked Hunting Lights mounted on a Savage Predator Hunter Max 1 .223 Rem (See this weblink) http://www.wickedhuntinglights.com/Marksman_Kit.html
Illuminated reticle setup:
Have you hunted with or do you know someone who has hunted with the illuminated Luepold VX-R 3-9x 40mm? (See this weblink) http://www.riflescopespy.com/best-rifle-scope/
The Wicked Hunting Lights website has an excellent live night hunt video with hogs taken at 125-150yards. The rifle in the video is different than the one shown in the picture with the Zeiss scope mounted on it. It looks like the rifle in the video is using a Leupold scope.
So here is my problem, new Savage Model 10 Predator Hunter Max 1 .243 Win. I am down to these 2 scope choices. If anyone has mounted either of these scopes on a Model 10 action, also please let me know what brand of bases and rings combination will allow me to mount these scopes lowest to the barrel/bore.
Thanks in advance for sharing your information!
