  Many of the new scopes come in red and green. I think red is best. It could have to do with backdrops where you hunt. Seasons can be a factor. Red is better in spring. Green in fall.

  If you are asking about lasers. the green is seen better in daylight.

  In general, green lasers appear brighter, and project a visible dot further, though contrast with the target still matters. Green lasers also cost more.
  
  Hunting with lasers is not always legal; depends on what you're shooting, and in what jurisdiction. I'd double-check before trying this.
  
  As a secondary matter, in my opinion, lasers work best at relatively short ranges, and for defense, when you need to get a shot fast and may not be able to use conventional sights.
  
  Unless you're talking fairly close ranges (ie under 25 yards), I think for hunting varmints, you're really better off with a conventional scope, where the magnification and ability to change the magnification could be really helpful.
  
  If you like the appearance of a dot on the target, you can get an ordinary dot or "reflex" type scope, and when you use it, it will LOOK like you're shining a laser on the target, even though there is no actual laser. Advantage of these is that you can adjust the brightness of the dot and they won't give away your position or spook game like a laser might.
  
  You can also add an in-line magnifier to enlarge the target, or alternatively just start with a magnified dot reticle scope.
