I bought this item for night time feral hog control because a friend recommended it. I also bought an illuminated reticle scope from Optics Planet. Last weekend I installed both on my .270 and sighted it in on Monday. The longest shot I’ll have is a little over 200 yards and I can see chain link fence posts and trees at that distance at night well enough to align the crosshairs of my scope. I’m pretty sure that my crosshairs will disappear on a black hog so the illuminated reticle will also be necessary for accurate shooting. The adjustable beam width is a real plus.

I like this product a lot and I’m considering purchasing another for a different rifle. This light plus the illuminated reticle scope provide a much less expensive option for night shooting than a night vision scope! This review is for the Laser Genetics laser light but I have to add that the scope I bought from Optics Planet is a Sig Sauer 3-9X illuminated reticle scope. I’ve seen several scopes in which the illuminated reticle is too big. This one is perfect. The lowest illumination setting is ideal for night time shooting. I’m using Hornady’s Precision Hunter ammo with their new ELD-X bullets. Off of a rest and sand bags I shot a half inch group, my best ever for factory loads. I reload but with performance like that I see no need to do so for hog control.
