The Best Scopes for Night Hunting
Especially in the hunting of wild boar, night hunting plays a central role. The sit-and-wait method for wild boar during the "pig sun" or full moon is particularly popular. To increase the chances of accurately targeting and cleanly taking alternating pieces, many hunters rely on scopes with high light transmission.
Light transmission, also known as light permeability, refers to the ability of optical glass or optical systems to allow as many light rays as possible to "pass through". A good or light-strong scope should have a light transmission greater than 90 percent.
It is generally true that the larger the objective diameter, the higher the light transmission, which is why many hunters prefer scopes with an objective diameter >50mm. Scopes with an objective diameter of 56mm from various manufacturers have become established.
So-called "all-round" scopes with designations like "3-12 x56" are particularly popular for night sits on wild boar. Experienced wild boar hunters swear by such scopes.
