It is nothing like the 4K max, which cost nearly twice as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just allows for less pixelisation during daytime zoom levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And an HD is ยฃ350 now. Not calling them as a scope , they are a good solid build, but the Pard is a far better option in my opinion.

Walker570 Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 I have a Wraith and one of DaveG's tele type and both do the job.ย Dave's is a very simple bit of kit and has laid a lot of foxes low. It does throw a bit of light back at you but the targets don't seem to notice.ย The Wraith is fine just needs a bit of getting used to. I don't use any of the additional all singing dancing thingies on it. Chose a simple cross hair and added a bit better IR.ย Suits my needs out to 150 no problem.ย ย Big open fields you need something with a bit of reach where Dave's wins because you can pull stuff inย easy with a side wheel scope.ย The Wraith is a touch more difficult and I only use it for 100-150yrd shots.

Gerry78 Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 As I said on a previous post I have been thinking of buying a wraith as my first night scope I still use a torch(cavemanโs know ) My question being I shoot a older ย CZ 222 would I have to buy a scope rail to mount it if so any suggestions???ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANT supplies for both. OR... go 007 and no need for either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6.5x55SE Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 Gerry i have same rifle in .222 personally I'd take Rewulf advice which is what i use on .17hmr .222 and 6.5x55 with no lose of zero. If you do go picatinny rail make sure you get one with the inbuilt recoil trust me Gerry i bought a Brittania one had nothing but trouble my local Rifle Smith also told me of several others having problems even though as you know the .222 is not a heavy recoiling rifle.

( I'm sure there are many other members) Rewulf is a sound bloke with good knowledge of NV and Thermal but if i was going dedicated Night and Day scope/unit it would be a Pulsar c50 without a doubt but for me the Pard 007 is so versatile I've got some very clear videos of day shooting with all three calibre rifles i use. ๐ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
