We have nutrias in our lake we are trying to get rid of. I got a gamo whisper air gun but the scope doesn't really work very well for night shooting. Most of my shots will be less than about 50 yards or so since I am usually shooting at a swimming nutria. Anyway, I am newb at any gun related and was wondering about scopes. I really don't want to spend $500+ on one of the "true" night scopes so I figured I would ask folks here on the forum if a "regular" low light scope will work for me. I have found that there is enough light that I can see the nutria just fine with a small set of binoculars i have . Big difference between the binoculars and the as-delivered gamo scope. I was thinking i could probably purchase a lower-priced (less than $100) low light scope that might work.... Any help folks here can give me would be VERY much appreciated!
Will low light scope work for night shooting?

My night time pesting....I absolutley need more than just a low light scope. My cheapest set up is my green light attached to the scope. Works great for me out past 50 yards easily for visibility.
I don't have that scope anymore, but I still use the light...

Go post this question over on the HUNTING section and hopefully YALEL can give you some meaningful answers. Good Luck!

A red light mounted to the 6x Leupold on my powderburner is fine for pigs out to 100 yards at night. We never used any special scopes for coon huntin growing up. We used Tasco 3-9x scopes from walmart on our .22's. The lights would light up their eyes, and that was what we aimed for.
