Subject: Scope for Hog Rifle
Posted: March/30/2014 at 19:00
I have two Trijicons and two VX-Rs. I hunt hogs here in Texas several times a year, pretty much exclusively at night using the moon. The only advantage that the Leupolds have over the Trijicons is price. They are both a good buy for you're money though. The advantage that the Trijicon has over every other scope is that you can shoulder it and fire-right now. There are no buttons and no dead batteries. The illumination is always perfect and it doesn't flare on the lens at all. I would say that the glass is a bit better than VX-R glass, not a huge difference to my eyes though. If your on a tight budget get the Leupold, you'll like it. If you can afford a few hundred extra, get the Trijicon, it's a better scope in every way, in my opinion.
Trijicon 2.5-10X56 green mil dot . This is the best hog hunting scope I own. If I hunted from a stand this is all I'd use. Right now it's mounted on a custom M70 300 WSM. This scope is bulky and heavy as you'd expect with a 56mm objective.
Trijicon 3-9X40 green plex. This is mounted on a Sako A7 270 WSM. If I only had one rig for hogs, this would be it. Light weight is one of my priorities, and this rig is accurate and powerful as well.
Leupold 2-7X33 #4 reticle. This is mounted on my Colt LE6900. This is a light and compact AR and In my opinion this scope is perfect for it. This is my primary coyote rifle when I'm not using a shotgun.
Leupold 4-12X50 ballistic firedot. This is mounted on my Armalite AR10. This rig is heavy. I used to use this rifle for hog hunting but it mostly punches paper now. I'm not a huge fan of this reticle.
