This is my rifle of choice for hunting pigs at night and for prairie dog mayhem in the great plains. Marlin rifles are deadly accurate and I can reach out to 150 yards no problem and take my share of prairie dogs. The NG-3 laser can be adjusted from a point or diffused to a wide circle to illuminate targets at night without being seen by the pray. A great setup for night hunting.
@28bull Yeah, those batteries get expensive quick!! I don’t use any stepdown transformers other than those that come with the equipment (like chargers, etc) so I’m afraid I can’t help you there. I just did a video on the ND-3 light that I’ll be posting this evening, look for it my friend. God bless you.
Hi Al,
Looks like we share yet another common interest. No feral hogs in my end of PA yet but have heard they are in central PA. Would you list the info on the light, it looks like something I might want to buy.
The inverter is going into daily use soon; I just bought 12 six volt batteries to add to my system. STICKER SHOCK !!!
Another power question. I use a bunch of Radio Shack cheapo stepdown transformers for 3-6-9 volt stuff. Do you know of any more durable stepdowns?
God Bless,
28Bull
@Jack70903 You can kill almost anything with a shot to the head, however, it is illegal to hunt deer with any rimfire ammunition regardless of caliber. Hogs can hunted with any caliber so a .22 magnum to the head works really well, any other shot placement would not work and would be unsportsmanlike.
@Chardavelli You can kill almost anything with a .22 mag to the head. It is illegal to hunt deer with any rimfire ammunition, however, it is legal to hunt pigs with any ammo where I live. Obviously if you’re going to use a .22? magnum you must take a head shot for it to be effective, anything else would not work and would not be sportsman-like.
Sweet rifle. I have been looking at the Ruger 10-22 LR. I had rather have the Magnum for a little larger game. Thanks for the video!
u can kill deer and pig with a .22 mag???
Can’t wait to see the video follow up. Thats a sharp setup brother, and more than enough to drop a hog!
