Was hog hunting near Austin last week and have a question about optics. Was using my AR15 Performance 6.8 SPC with a Luepold 3.5 x 10 VXIII. This was my first hog hunt and didnt realize how close some of the shots would be, actually had trouble picking up close/running pigs before they disappeared in the woods. Would I be better off switching to an eotech or mounting a lazer on the side rail and shooting from the hip? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Great fun! wont be my last hog hunt.
Thanks |

Decided on a lower variable (Weaver Extreme 1.5-.4.5x24 illuminated german #4) for my AR10, which I hope to use as a hog gun.
Wish the optic has more daytime illumination ability, but the #4 reticle is pretty quick to pick up at 1.5x. The 4.5x should give me plenty of magnification for shots out to 200 yards. |

I had a millet dms-1 on my gun for hog hunting and night hog hunting.
I ended up taking it off my 6.8 because the lower power scope did not fit my needs. The Millet is a great product, but I need more power to be able to shoot out to 300 yds. I can not shoot that far with a lower power scope, but i take my hat off to those who can. I put a Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40 on my 6.8. It is a better match for me. The millet is going to see life on my s&w .22 I just orederd. |

For what your doing a 1x4 type scope like a kdot or something similiar will work very well. Something you can aquire targets very quickly with, or adjust for identifing longer targets if need be. |
