It will work great. Almost too great. I've never used them hunting, or never had to. Only because I hunt elk in CO every year and it's not allowed, so I just keep the batteries out. When I get back here, the sights are just too bright for low light conditions. It's personal preference, but those fiber optics will stay lit plenty until it's too dark to shoot, IMOGonna get some batteries for it next time i go in Walmart . Anxious to see how it works
