I have used the optronics 100 for nite shooting and found I can shoot quite well out to 75 yards or so with out the red lens. with the lens on my range is greatly diminished. How far are you able to shoot with the 250 or 350 models with the red lens on. I find that you have No time to mess around with out the lens , ust point and shoot. i'm hoping a bigger lite with the red lens would give a person more range and time to aim? Thanks

Hey Mike i have the 250 model and my friend has the 350 on mine i can see about 100 yards with the red lens with the 350 Andrew says he can go another 25 yards or so. the main thing is using a decent scope so what we dop now is we buy the under water green lights that attract baitfish hook them up to a 12 volt battery, you can see a good 20 yards around the feeder i had the 100 compact and i loved it but with the red lend as you stated it is hard to see I bought 4 extra 6 volt batteries and extra pigtail connections from optronics as i am constantly turning mine on and off you get around 28 continuous minutes of usage out of them so what i do is i wait till i hear grunts then hit the switch, but as you know most big boars you never hear coming unless you hear a crack of a stick or something

thanks Howie. If you can get that kind of range with the red lens, I guess its time for me to upgrade
