I have had excellent results night hunting coyotes in Maine using the Weaver "Classic Extreme" 2.5-18x56 with a German #4 reticle and illuminated dot. The illuminated dot can be adjusted down to a dull glow so it does not blow out your night vision or cause any internal reflections in the scope ( which seems to be a problem in a lot of optics that offer illumination ) also very reasonably priced if you search the net.
