Walker570 Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Any of you use one ? Results? Good Bad whatever ? Only had a chance to look through one in daylight and as I only require it for low light and darkness could not make a judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 i have the 4-x32x50 the ir is only really good for air rifle or rimfire on a very dark night so for centre fire another stronger ir is needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Hello, I have only read the specs but the weight puts me off, and as above a better I/R may be needed, have a look on this, Yukon Sightline N 450 S, (new model) better onboard I/R , lighter, good 400 yards, good dusk and dark nights , and 3 year warranty, £650 in optics warehouse, rrp £750, it's one I'm looking at to replace my old Photon, if the 450 has brightness control like my Photon you won't need I/R till late, let me know what you think, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 the wraith has brightness control the best about the wraith is you can use another ir if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted July 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 I already have an alternative choice of IR so no problem and my maximum range requirement is 200yrds, most shots down to 50-75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Hi you can see 200 yards no problem but as i said a better ir is needed i have just ordered an Solaris SRX laser for mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Hello, not all night vision scopes work well with laser I/R torches at short range, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 i did not say it was for short range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arley Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Purchased one in January, problem with the unit not holding zero!!! Cost me a couple of foxes, it was spot on for a couple of months then had an unexplained miss, checked zero it was a foot high and 3 inches to the right, rezeroed and thought thats sorted, missed the next fox so checked again, once again high and to the right. Currently back at the dealer i purchased it for repair/replacement Also agree the supplied IR is not great, purchased a Solaris torch which is great Worryingly the dealer had encountered the problem before, it may be a software issue? Hoping to get the unit back next week fixed or replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow243 Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Hi Arley i did the update on mine even though there was no problem with it as far as i can see it has not changed anything plus you cant open the update files to see what it is updating 45 minutes ago, oldypigeonpopper said: Hello, it was only to inform on what I/R torches I have tried and use, no detriment to your post advice, no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arley Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Hi Scarecrow, Have you had a problem with your unit holding zero? I like it but have lost confidence in it after it developed the fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Hi Arley fingers crossed no problems yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandango Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Been using a wraith on the .223 with a srx and have had no problems at all,the combination of Thermal spotter, wraith, IR, and rifle has accounted for a lot of foxes with no issues on zero,,,also used it daytime and can’t fault it, I haven’t updated as yet.... maybe I should !!!!!
