Red works best for me too.

Rabbits see in monochrome black and white, they don't have colour vision. So RED light filters have been proven to work well. It doesn't glare in their sight as cold, bright light will. Almost as if they cannot see the changes in light from a red one.

Jocky.
Does your scope have an illuminated reticle? I use a Hawke Panorama 4-12x50 and a 4-12x40mm pair on my Daystate Regal and HW77 .22 and set them on a medium strength of Blue light against the red beam of the lamp.
Also, try practicing aiming and re-adjusting your rifle/scope/lamp set up in the dark in your garden if you can. That might help your eyesight better without putting you under pressure while out on a night lamping foray?

Best wishes.
