Sightmatk wraith

[Okie Whitetail Hunter]

Been hunting the last two weekends with my nephews and they run Pulsar thermals. I cant afford one of them but have been looking at the Sightmark wraith. Most of the hogs are in peanut or cotton fields. Anyone have any experience with this sight?

What do you want to know? They are digital night vision with daylight capability. They record. You will need an IR illuminator (comes with one that is pretty good, but you can buy better aftermarket illuminators). Using an illuminator means you will light up things other than just the intended targets. Smoke from your rifle may temporarily block your view (form 0 to 2-3 seconds) depending on the breeze or lack thereof. The Wraith has a goodly amount of magnification (4.5x native) and a narrow FOV which may make hunting moving targets at shorter ranges more difficult but make sniping singles a breeze.

Which aftermarket illuminators do you recommend?

Thanks for the info hoping to get a chance at some hogs this weekend.

Sorry, but I have not hunted with digital NV in a year or so and then it was with just a simple and inexpensive supplemental light I got from Amazon. You can spend a few hundred dollars for a high end IR light. A lot of guys like this... https://www.nightvisionoutfitters.com/products/sniper-hog-lights-coyote-cannon

The Wraith comes with a light that is good to 150 yards or so, IIRC. You may want to hold off on the additional expense until you see what it will do with what is included.

Just trying to keep you from spending money you may not need to spend. However, if you are wanting to try stuff out at 300 yards or more, then yeah, spend the $$.

I use the ATN model of the scope. We shoot over bait at 50yds or less. It will work farther but we don't have to. It does white out at the shot (muzzle flash) so running shots are out. We don't have a suppressor yet so that might help.
