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 four sets of
Generation 3 PVS-7′s along with another Gen 3 equipped suppressed 77/44
and a Gen 3 equipped LWRCI M6A3 Designated Marksman Rifle in 6.8mm SPC
(www.lwrci.com) with a custom bored titanium XL suppressor (half the
weight and twice the price of stainless steel suppressors). Both .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 LWRC uses 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 three rifles are equipped with Timney
single stage triggers that are as nice as the finest hunting rifles.
We have also added a suppressed 96/44 with daytime scope for occasions when the hogs are coming out early.
