Nice rifle.
I got out of the 6.8 a couple of years ago and am kicking myself in the tale now.
What you have to ask yourself is if you are day-hunting or night-hunting. On the other hand, if you are doing both. If you are just killing hogs for fun and maybe scrap food, day hunting is fine. If you are trying to eradicate feral hog infiltration, you might need to consider killing after dusk.

No thermal for me at least at this time as there is no night hunting on our lease so will be strictly for use during hunting hours.
