I need a Scope for a Ruger 10/22 Rifle mostly for late evening/night small game hunting. Have you used this Scope at night? Was the 40mm good enough?

I have not used it at night but it works well at dusk. Cant beat it for the price. You want something that works at night go gen 3 night vision or thermal, but $$$

No, I haven't used the scope at night. I wouldn't recommend any 40mm scope for night hunting. A 50mm would gather more light but even a 50mm is not the right scope for night hunting. You would need a night vision scope for this.

I have not used it at night but it collects a lot of light at dawn and dusk.

I put this on my Ruger 10/22. For it to fit properly, I had to buy a low profile tactical rail ($8). Out to 30 yards, once sighted in (which is pretty easy), I can't miss! For me 30 yards with this is my limit. Any further, I suggest using a scope.

I really like the scope, but like several others that I have had, night vision is not equal to a daylight glass scope in magnification. If you need 4x then get the 5x. We are using them on crossbows and the 4x works just fine

I have this scope and its really nice, its more like a rubber textured film it very scuff and scratch resistant. Have mine on a savage .270 handles recoil just fine. Nice optic for the price.

It has good range, easily out to 100 yds or more. On Gen 1 night optics you won't find good ones with high powers so you're limited to the range by the fact that low power doesn't increase view target sizes much. Otherwise, you can't beat this one, I love it for the price.

I have their 3x9x40 on my Marlin 30-30 and i have not had any issues with it love it in fact. If you just want the scope then fine, but if you want to use a see through mount and still have the ability to use your iron sights I would suggest going with the 40mm instead of the 50mm. i run the 40 with the truglo back up sights and it is perfect for Michigan deer. sights are bright in low light. I have the sights dialed in at 50 yards and the scope dialed in at 100 so close in I can use my sights for quick shots and the scope is set for long range. links to the sights and the scope mount, I would get them all and it is a really easy install you can do it yourself in about 10 min http://www.amazon.com/TruGlo-Firesight-Fiber-Marlin-Golden/dp/B0028M96GW/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418324438&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=marlin+tru+glo http://www.amazon.com/Kwik-Site-KS-336-Marlin-Rifle-Ring/dp/B000N8LCO2/ref=sr_1_6?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1418324800&sr=1-6&keywords=marlin+336+scope+mounts

Its quite bright on the high setting. I doubt I'll even need the high setting during daylight until the batteries start to get weak. First time I shot was full sun and on high the red dot was "bleeding out", I had to turn it dimmer to get a cleaner dot for clean aiming. Oh, right. The Red Dot scope from TruGlo I put on with the NcStar 45-degree mount has the qualities listed above. :)

hello I am using a bushnell scope at the moment for a small caliber rifle. It is not holding up to the recoil of the hornet. I have some friends that do a lot of hunting with high power air rifles and they all use this one in the link I am purchasing one myself. I hope this helps Crosman CPA416AORG2 Centerpoint 4-16x40mm Riflescope

I havent mounted it on a rifle as yet.I have about 28 acres and I like to watch the wildlife I have here.I primarly just use it by itself right now.I'm looking for a Ruger 10 22 in 22 magnum.5 years ago I gould purchase one for less than $400.Now the greedydealers want$900 and theammo is obcsenelypriced.I live in TN and even the local walMarts haven't hs any 22LR for almost a year.just useing the scope I can see what goes bump in the night,

I believe it would be fine for hunting within a certain yardage. I personally wouldn't shoot at anything but paper from more than 100 just to be on the safe side of taking ethical shots. no magnification + not the sharpest dot make it a little hairy if your hunting anything but varmints. I'm not a great shooter though so your experience could lend more utility from the red dot world of sights

I use it on my Ruger 10/22 Target model at 200 meters. I don't need a spotting scope as long as I use Shoot N See targets. KFW

I've had one mounted on a .300 wsm and a .270 win. No problems on either. With the way you're question is worded sounds you may have issues with the mounting system. If so, i strongly advise leupold rings and bases for any scope. But as far as the quality of the dusk & dawn, it's one of my favorites. Seems superior to other banners (imo) and holds its own compared to my nikons. No regrets on my purchase. Gathers light very well when you need it most.

I been shooting with this scope on my Sig, 7.62X51 and I have had no problems with it, actually I love this on both the AR15 & AR10. Great scope & very durable. I've used it hog & deer hunting and it stays dead on target. Good shooting & happy & safe holidays.

Its pretty good. Like most zoom scopes you will start to loose light pretty noticeably but it is still pretty good. I find that even in low light i use the black cross hairs because when it is dark enough the colored light ones are so bright that they can just wash out your view in the scope making it harder to see.

This is a great scope. Its more designed for higher power rifles, but it will work just fine on a .22. The scope is ment more for shooting medium to big game meaning the picture is bigger when you look through the scope vs a scope used for target practice with has a tighter picture. So as for your question on if it is a good scope for your .22 it depends on what you want to do with it. I have mine on a much larger rifle (7.62x54r) and I use it for target practice quite a bit and it works great. Its a solid buy and great all around. Hope this helps.

Depends on the game? Small game like squirrels,rabbits,raccoon's,and birds.Yes! Medium to large game like pigs,boars,deer,bears,and humans.No!Its accurate as is at 25 yards with a scope or red dot 50-75 max.If your looking for something to hunt small-medium game i would suggest Benjamin Marauder .22 or equivalent .22 or higher P.C.P.(precharged pneumatic) rifle. Any questions dont hesitate to ask? Sincerely,Mr.Vreeland-AkA: (The Stach) ;})

Personally, I think it would be very good on that rifle. It's a clean, simple reticle and the center dot would be fine enough for squirrels out to 50 and target out to 100. The illumination of the center dot would also be helpful in dark woods. I recommend getting a good mount, and as light a mount as possible. I recommend the AeroPrecision extended mount. It is only 3 ounces. if you are patient can probably find one for 60-70$. Hope this helps.
