Ol Mike - the Texas Boars red lights work very well - even a night vision scope seems to "see" better with the red light than an IR enhancer - at least the cheap ones do. With any decent (optical) scope it is pretty easy to see your target in the red light, and it doesn't spook the hogs like a bright white light.

Dirt Farmer - .22 mag is a little light for much hog hunting, but probably a good choice with dogs. Too many times a .44 mag will go through the hog and kill or injure dogs. O course, most of the dog guys now want to just use a knife. (Not me!)
