Are they any good at night. Do they freak out rabbits or can’t they see the green light???

Well, it is said that the critters cannot see the red or green light. But, after flashing them with the green laser the bunnies DO notice. I could tell they see ‘something’ and it doesn’t completely spook them so, at greater distances they don’t notice too much but the problem I’ve encountered is trying to estimate the distance in the dark. my laser rangefinder is useless so, I’ve resorted back to range estimation through target height in inches X 27.77 divided by height in mil. But, the bunnies move faster than i can do basic math so….It’s just guessing especially with my SR12 reticle.
I always wanted to know about these lights…do the animals not see green or red light?
I occasionally go ‘pesting’ at night on a private farm. And to be 100% accurate I can tell you that at under 50 yards the bunnies get a little spooked by green light. I use a laser designator also. But at greater distances they still notice a little..but not as much. I was still able to take out 14 bunnies in less than 2 hours. Laser designators/green light are still the cheapest and most cost effective way to shoot your rifle at night. And the scope works good when they are compatible together.

I use the red Primos scope light (snap on but adjustable) and a red laser at night on raccoons and opossums nearly every week. They tend to ignore the light but the laser will send them running if it hits their eyes. The Primos works well but has an external gel cell power source so I don’t carry it around. 😉
