night scope for rifle??

[Rare Feathers Farm]

I have a 250 savage (late 1800's) model ladies' rifle. I love it. It's light-weight and shoots perfectly. However, 99% of the time I need to use it, it's dark out. The coyotes have gotten so brazen that even when shining a spot light on them, they just stand there. However, my scope does not pick up enough light to allow me to shoot in the dark and even with one of us (hubby or myself) holding the spotlight on the coyotes, it's still not bright enough...

Usually, it's about 50-100 yard shot...

Anyone know where I can get a night scope for my gun? Or maybe a laser sight (red dot) thing?

I would try checking eBay, or Gunbroker.com

I looked on eBay but I'm always so cautious buying stuff there...especially "big ticket" items...I'll try the other website you mentioned, too--thanks!

A good scope will give you plenty of light even with moon light to get a shot off.

There is a company (of which I can't recall) that makes a lazer that simply clamps onto the trigger guard of ANY gun. It was relatively cheap($75) compared to the others that are $300+ A red dot scope wouldn't do you any good because you still would have to see thru the scope to acquire your target.

The one we have is older...but works really well (in the daylight). We have no outside lights and frequently, it's cloudy or too dark to see anything without the spotlight.

Hmmm....yeah....I didn't think of that!

LOL These coyotes need to go! There were FIVE of them on Friday night and last night, three (two adults) and one juvenile.

LaserLyte!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's the name of them I think. Look up LaserLyte trigger guard lasers.
