Quick Answer
For hog hunting at night, consider a 2.75-6x LPVO (Low Power Variable Optic) with a 1-2 MOA red dot reticle, offering a wide field of view and easy target acquisition in low light conditions.
Choosing the Right LPVO
When selecting a LPVO for hog hunting at night, prioritize a scope that excels in low light environments, such as those with a high-quality glass and a BDC (Bullet Drop Compensator) reticle. The 1-2 MOA red dot reticle provides a clear aiming point in low light conditions and allows for quick adjustments to compensate for bullet drop at varying ranges. Consider a scope with a 30mm main tube for added durability.
LPVO Settings for Night Hog Hunting
To optimize your LPVO for night hog hunting, set the magnification to 2.75x or 3.5x, which offers a wide field of view while still providing sufficient magnification for accurate shots. Adjust the reticle brightness to its highest setting for maximum visibility in low light conditions. Use the built-in red dot to help quickly aim at your target.
Additional Tips for LPVO Hog Hunting at Night
When using a LPVO for hog hunting at night, consider the following tips: use a rifle with a suppressed barrel to reduce noise and disturbance; wear night vision goggles or a monocular to enhance your ability to spot hogs in the dark; and keep your LPVO’s reticle brightness at its highest setting to ensure quick target acquisition.
