New Sightmark Wraith Digital NV Scope Announced

Sightmark broke the news yesterday on a new digital NV scope they have coming out. This is something they've been quietly working on for awhile. It's called the Wraith HD 4-32x50 and it will retail for $499. It's full color during the daylight, black and white at night, has video recording and variable digital zoom. It is obviously their answer to the X-Sight. The word is the Photon RT's are not going away and this will just be another scope in their line up. I'm going to be very interested to see how it performs in the area of image quality and the IR brightness. I'll be finding out a lot more next week at SHOT Show. Stay tuned, it looks very intriguing.

Here is a ton of info on it and there are 2 videos at the bottom of the page, including some video shot through the unit.

May have to have me one of those.

Very attractive at that price point.

Dang, I just bought a Photon RT. Looks nice! I may end up switching.

That's a cool do-it-all scope. Nice and compact too.

Wow, definitely want to learn more on this. Would a different illuminator carry further?

Nice, may have to upgrade next year.

Very bottom after the videos has a price of $599 NOT $499.

Jason plans to sell 'em cheap!

I believe that’s MSRP. I’ve been been told for weeks that retail will be $499 and Sightmark stated the price was $499 in all their social media posts.

LOL!!

Well dang. Something else to spend money on. Then try to slip it by the wife. Now that we're both retired she likes to keep an eye on my spending. She needs to get a part time job.

How do their Rifle scopes compare to others? That one guy on TV loves them but he's a paid sponsor.

Scene control

Any idea when they might start selling them?

X-Sight Killer!

Looks very promising.

No idea yet on ship dates. Usually it's somewhere between 2-6 months after SHOT. That's a pretty wide range but that's just me saying what normal is. I'll report back after my meeting.

The Wraith HD is 1080p. They are also coming out with a Wraith 4K 3X that is double the resolution. I just got the Sightmark catalog in the mail but no videos on this one yet. The 4K will get my money if if it is better than the HD model/

What is the weight? I bet it is not half a pallet of bricks like the X-sight was. Good for them.

I don’t see the fish finder option like the x-sight. LoL

Here is the user manual on the Wraith. Looks like 36.3 oz.

Have a old photon on a back up rifle I think I need to upgrade my scope.

Dang, all we need is someone to make a bunch of videos using it while shooting 300# hogs and tell us how awesome it is, and it will not be able to stay in stock....oh wait...nevermind....


Yes, that was a troll move.

All joking aside, this look like a really cool scope. I hope it does better than the X-sight at night time viewing. I am keenly interested as I have a gun with an X-sight on it that needs a new combo scope....this could be the ticket at this price range.

Any hands on update on this from shot show?

Yes sir it looks really nice, exactly like you'd expect it. I honestly think Sightmark gave us too much information about it before SHOT because it was a little anti-climatic. We knew basically every spec and feature of it before SHOT so there isn't too much surprising. From what I'm hearing the 4K model is likely going to be long while coming, they weren't even taking pre-orders for it and didn't have pricing. There was basically no word on it and from what it sounds like they really want to get the HD model out and be sure everything is running smoothly for awhile before they move to the 4K.

They are saying the Wraith HD should be shipping within 2 months (maybe less) and I've my pre-order in. I'm ready to get my hands on them in the field.

I saw this at shot show, and I was impressed! Clarity at higher magnification is awesome for sure! Very lightweight as well! I will be getting one when they come out for sure!
