NightHogs Generation 3 Night Vision Hog Hunting

Equipment

When we started out in April 2008 we had just one Generation 3 NV suppressed 77/44 Ruger  and hunted only as friends-not guides.  We still use that original rifle but have added five sets of PVS-7′s along with two PVS-14's and one M944-all Generation 3.  We also utilize a Raytheon thermal weapons scope on a suppressed 77/44, a Gen 3 D-740 equipped suppressed 77/44, a Gen 3 D-740 equipped suppressed U S Steel Tactical 6.8 SPC and a Gen 3 D-760 equipped LWRCI  M6A3 DMR in 6.8mm SPC with titanium XL suppressor.  We have a third suppressed 77/44 and two more 6.8 SPC's with a daytime scopes for when the hogs are coming out early.  All three .44 magnums shoot custom loaded subsonic ammunition pushing out 300 grain Hornady XTP’s at about 1050 fps with an effective range of about 85 yards.  They have a decibal level about the same as a high powered pellet gun.  The 6.8's use custom loaded ammo pushing 110 grain Hornady V-Max at about 2600 fps with an effective range of about 200 yards (if the shooter can hold up his/her end).  It has a decibal level in the range of a .22 long rifle.  All of the rifles are equipped with Timney single stage triggers that are as nice as the finest deer hunting rifles.
