Sightmark wraith on sale, worth it?

[Ataulbe1]

Well?? I’m curious, you tagged my name in something I wanna hear an answer @Ataulbe1

Didn't see your reply yesterday. Yeah that Burris E1 you'd linked sometime last year. I'd forgotten about that Vortex scope deal forever ago! So I guess we're even lol

I’ve got an ATN 4k Pro. Once I upgraded to the IR pro illuminator it was quite literally daylight and dark on how much better I could see. As for battery life, it seemingly runs forever before needing charged. Wish I could offer more insight on the wraith. But I’m sure the illuminator would be the biggest factor in view.

Howdy fellas. I've just ordered the ATN 4k Pro after deciding thermal was just too much money to spend. I did a bunch of youtube vid watching and found a few links for this light. Sniper Hog Lights I have no tie in to the company, but the youtube videos show this light working very well. It's a bit more than the OP wants to spend right now, just thought maybe y'all would be interested. I'm new to the NV game, so I'm trying to buy once, cry once. Good luck to all y'all and be safe. Thanks for all the info.

So I got it in the mail the other day, mail person sat it out in the rain to soak while I was at work but anyways it works.
First impressions just from playing with it is that it works as advertised, the ir light that came with it does better than I expected but it will get an upgrade soon.
I didn’t think about how hard it would be to scan a field at night with 4x magnification, thinking the 2x model may have been better suited.
And side note I was surprised at how bright the light coming from the screen is at night, I turned brightness all way down and helped but it’s still pretty dang bright on my eye lol

@Ataulbe1 you get yours yet?

Wait until you look through it at night with the better light. You will go WOW!

Does it have the rubber boot on the eye piece?
I took mine off my thermal I don't like them I can't see anything after I come off the scope, it's much better without it.

Yes I received mine Monday.

Yes it does, I haven’t tried with it off, but I usually don’t have my eye all the way up on the eye piece I’ll have to pop it off and see what it looks like

I have one and it is great for coyote hunting. With an upgraded light, you can see 500 yards in a field with low cut grass or corn stalks. The light that comes with it sucks. I can tell you which to buy. We slayed the coyotes at night last year with it on an AR-15. It's only downfall is the screen goes white for a second when you shoot so it is hard to get off a quick second shot. Buy the good rechargeable batteries. You can get about 1.5 hrs on a charge.

Here is a pic of looking at coons 500 yards away with the upgraded light.

I second that

So for a update, I went to sight it in today, started at around 30 yards to get it on paper and it made a good tight group, moved back to 60ish yards and I was all over the paper. Checked mounts and they were tight, shot a lot of rounds and never got a consistent group, or even a consistent direction it was tracking. And we are talking bullet holes from a 3 shot group were 6” apart at times. So I’m gonna see if I can figure out how to update the firmware, see if that helps. And in meantime I’m gonna put another scope on the rifle to check its accuracy as I’ve never sighted in this rifle either.

Was about to buy a upgraded ir light for this scope but now I’m gonna hold out to see if it’s gonna work out before dumping more money into it

I’m not sure how the Wraith works. But sighting in my ATN is an absolute breeze. 1 shot zero is awesome.

 

[woodsman92]

Ye

Yeah it has one shot zero, and that’s pretty cool, but when a 3 shot group spans 6” you don’t even know which way to take it lol I put a old scope I had laying around today and slapped it on that rifle and put 3 within 1.5” circle, so rifle is not the issue

 

[riverboss]

What kind of target are you shooting at?
I tried a atn and during the day I couldn't see the target.
My thermal was hard to sight in during the day I finally made a large + out of the chrome heat tape and it was alot easier to line the cross hairs up and down and side to side, until I did that I couldn't get a 6in group shooting at hot hand packs or just a small square piece of tape.
I have read sight it 2in low but dead center at 20 yrds then back up and shoot and then move it up close and make adjustments.
