optics for boar hunting -help

[swifty]

Since most of the hogs seem to come in about dark-thirty, I am looking for a scope that the cross-hair won't get lost in the silhouette  of the hog. I am looking at the Trijicon AccuPoint Scope 1.25-4x24 Red Triangle, TR21R
Do you think this would be a good choice?Do you have a better suggestion? This scope also be good for those late afternoon dusk shots at deer.
Thanks

I personally don't consider any scope with an objective that small a low light scope. Take a look at the Mueller line of scopes they have a 2-7 that has been reviewed here and their lighted dot reticle is as good as it gets for such situations.

When we went to Texas several years back for a night hunt on a moonless period I put a Bushnell Elite 4200 1.5-6 on my wife's rifle as the hunt was really her hunt and it worked as well as any I've ever seen in low light conditions. Had there been any moon at all it would have been all she would have needed but with no moon, lotsa clouds and hunting under trees she would have needed added light and I had it ready to illuminate things for her had she gotten a shot but she didn't.

I have had good success with the Bushnell 3200 3-9x40 with the firefly feature. I just shine a small flashlight through the scope for a few seconds and the crosshairs glow for a while. I made the mistake of doing for about 30 seconds one time on a moonless night and the crosshairs were too bright for a while.

How does one mount a scope on a knife?  And at pig sticking distances, wouldn't it just get all splattered and covered with dog spit?

Never knew there was a need for a scope on a knife. Hunting that way for all these years now and I never knew LOL

When we can not run our dogs and we have to spotlight I just use a wide angle sportsview I believe it is called in 3 x 9 from Bushnell. Just set it on 3 power and your fine. Been useing that set up on hogs for years now after we can no longer dog them due to respecting the deer hunters.
