I bought a Bushnell elite 4200 and have been very impressed. Now this is the highest end scope I've touched since I left the service a couple plus decades ago, never touched a Nightforce so I can't compare. I do know it works at night with a good light out to about 100 yards. The reticle actually takes on a glittery appearance when the background is dark, I never have figured that one out. It has maybe 400 rounds so far in hot and cold and has held zero fine. No fancy turrets or mil dot reticles just a solid basic scope. I didn't pay $300 for it new on ebay at auction.
Welcome aboard and keep us posted!

Welcome to the forums!

What distances and what time of day do you usually see hogs? That's going to decide your best options for a scope.

Agreed. I'll also add: Money-wise, what does "mid-level" mean to you? Also factor in ~$100+ for rings and/or mount.

I would like to plan 50 yards out to 200 yards. Low light. Night time is the best time while they are feeding. Are there Holographic sights that have a built in laser system that can be used in conjunction with strong flashlight?


I would like to also inquire what ammo for the AR10 are you guys using for dropping 100-400 lb hogs. What is the best company for ordering bulk ammo. Thanks for all input

I have had good luck with Target Sports USA. Free shipping on case amounts. Like all of them, right now a lot of out of stocks and overwhelmed with orders.

I am also on the prowl ,for a tough, illum. mid power scope. :cowboy: PIGMAN,on T.V. promotes a LEUOPOLD 1-4 or a 1-6 version. I have read on other forums ;stay away from built in RANGE-FINDERS. (THE BATTERING OF THE BOLT RETURNING AFTER ,RECOIL IS A QUICK DEATH -FACTOR)^RUMOR?
