50mm scopes are good but 56mm exellent at night. try using a scope optimiser too ( you know the rubber tubes that fit on the eye piece)

You may want to try different colour filters as well, as some shoots may have been lamped with just white beam making the rabbits lamp shy.

I have a red filter so will try that. Do you think 4-9-40 will be up to the job?

Yes they should be up to the job mate!
