SV-99? Nice looking rifle but for $800 I'd rather hang-out with Elliot Spitzer's chauffeur. At night it's close-in work and my 10/22 should be okay. I also have an old Remington single-shot bolt action.

At $400 or so for the scope, either rifle could easily take the scope I mentioned above. I'd be shooting at a max of 50 yds from up a ladder. I'm thinking light them up and pop them as they come in to repair the dams. I've never used an IR scope, but at 50 yds, so what?

Bottle nipple? Cool. What does it do, drop muzzle velocity?
