Ok, I have an AR with the A-1 upper. I'm starting to have a coyote problem but they only show up at night. If I start to hunt these pests, I can't use my sights as I can't see them. What kind of sights do people use to hunt in total darkness? I'm looking for something I can get on target very quickly. In fact, I have this same problem with smaller varmints. I use a 22 pistol to put them away, but I've missed several times because I can't see the sights. So what is a good sight to hunt at night?

Aimpoint and a Surefire work for me.

Wow, those are expensive. I was hoping a cheap dot sight would be sufficient. I just don't how good any of them would be at night.

My experience has been that with night sights on an AR or even a pistol it allows you to see the sights but not necessarily what you're trying to shoot. I suppose if there is enough light to make out the target then night sights would work for you well enough.
