Sightmark Wraith 4K Mini 2-16x32

The Sightmark Wraith 4K Mini is a low-cost, 4K-sensor way into weapon-mounted night vision. It is a digital scope, not an analog tube, so it runs full-color in daylight and switches to IR-illuminated digital night vision after dark, all on one optic that costs under $800. A 4K 3840x2160 CMOS sensor feeds a 1280x720 display, magnification runs 2-16x with 8x digital zoom, and a built-in 850nm IR illuminator lights targets to a rated 300 yards in total darkness.

Digital night vision at this price will not match a Gen 3 PVS-14 tube for image quality or passive range, and the CR123A runtime of roughly 2 hours on high IR means carrying spares for a full night. What it buys instead is versatility: one scope that hunts hogs in color at noon and in IR at midnight, records 4K video with audio, and offers 14 reticle options across 9 colors. For a first night setup on a hog or predator rifle, the Wraith 4K Mini is the entry point that keeps the whole rig under the cost of a single analog tube.
