The best rifle scopes for night hunting
Especially when hunting wild boar, night hunting plays a central role. The hunt for wild boar is particularly popular during the "hog sun" and full moon. In order to increase the chances of being able to target and cleanly kill alternating pieces, many hunters rely on rifle scopes with a high light transmission.
Light transmission, also known as light transmittance , is the ability of optical glass or optical systems to "let through" as many rays of light as possible. In a good or fast riflescope, the light transmission should be greater than 90 percent.
Since the higher the objective diameter, the higher the light transmission, many hunters like to use rifle scopes with an objective diameter >50mm. Glasses from various manufacturers with a lens diameter of 56mm have become established.
So-called "all-round" riflescopes with designations such as "3-12 x56" are particularly popular for night hunting of wild boar. Experienced sow hunters swear by such binoculars.
