I throw in the towel with the night scopes,

[airgunmike56]

I really wanted this Wraith 2x16x32 4K mini max to work, Way cool looking little scope,,, I can not read the words in the window, Even with my glasses on smashed up to the rubber cup , I turned up the power to see if it would help, Nope no help,, I could not even turn the night vision on for hours because I was just guessing at things, I guess I will just wait and drop 3 to 4 thousand on a REAL thermal scope ...Why Sightmark decided to make tiny little words in the view box is stupid ,,

I just had to UP the power on reading glasses to read labels , not because of my eyes but because the print is so much smaller .

Dude, it’s a conspiracy! I’ve gotten labels that look like micro-fiche…

 

[airgunmike56]

Yep there all out to get us, LOL.. I got a book a very old book Its been passed down and has very fine print, Put my reading glass on and I can read it just fine, This digitel
fine print is something else,,, Even the wife looked through it , She even gave me the OK, get something better, The catch is it comes out of my play money not ours or hers
LOL.

I don't know if I have any good news. Even the fancy $7k thermal scopes mostly have pretty small fonts in their displays.

I don't think the thermal scopes start giving you seriously high-resolution displays until the prices become insane. Up until around $4k-$5k you're mostly spending money on the sensor, not the display.

The laser etched stuff on small parts nowadays is so hard to see. I'm about to need a set of readers so I can do my job correctly!

 

[Racenviper]

If you are counting on the drug store glasses, maybe that is the problem.

 

[airgunmike56]

Drug store, I thought the DEA shut them all down,, LOL couldn't resist..
I tried everything store bought reading glasses , My bifocals RX , Even stuck a magnifying glass to the back of the scope, I think I am going to unbox it and play with it this weekend to make sure Its the scope and not me, well except for my eyes...
Its got to go back monday ,

 

[Cranky1]

Have you tried the focus on the back? My iray bolt 50 has a fairly large internal screen, it makes it easier to read. A buddy has the wraith mini and I’m pretty impressed with it for the size and cost.

 

[airgunmike56]

Thanks Cranky 1
I still got to unbox it out and go over everything to make sure I didnt stupid out on something like the focus in the back,,

Oh lord, isn't that the truth. I've been using a magnifying loop to read it....there should be a law, or less laws dictating these insane labels.

 

[airgunmike56]

OK got a little help from a friend (Ophthalmologist) I am keeping the scope and going to give it a go, Got all the stuff on the gun battery pack light and all looks cool or junked out depending how you look at it, Picture coming soon ,,,,
All I can say is Eye Drops, That's it nothing else.
Oh to zero the scope in was stupid easy, Really helps when you can read the directions

I have the same scope. I have trouble reading them too. The Mini Wraith is no substitute for a scope but I wanted night capabilities and it does work well for that. Still can't run a video maybe I will have to read the instructions. Have mine with QD mount so I can change from one rifle to another. You can set zero for 5 rifles and repeat zero is close when you change but still requires a touch up for good zero.

 

[airgunmike56]

Just trying to get everything to fit, Battery pack will have to attach to tripod somehow, Not enough room on gun. Need to lower the scope also , I like it but just to high.

 

[Vetmx]

I see what you’re saying. It kinda looks like it’s in orbit around your gun. What’s up with the big box in front of it? Is that the battery pack? I’ve had a regular Wraith 4k for a while now and I personally don’t use the rubber eye piece on any of my night vision stuff. It makes it easier for me to look around at all the stuff in there. They call it a mini but it looks like quite an apparatus. Here’s what my regular 4k looks like on a pup.

 

[airgunmike56]

Vetmx your gun Looks good and clean, My Mini only has a three hour battery life, If you drop in new battery's, The sightmark battery pack is a little to big to be mounted on the gun, I think. Got to figure out how to get the scope back to my face and eye without installing the extra high P. Rail.

 

[Keyman62421]

And I thought it was just ME!

 

[Sicumj]

Sightmark makes some mounts to move the scope back. Here is one.

Wraith Mini Long Mount

Description Hunt with your bolt-action gun in high definition using the Wraith Mini Long Mount cantilever mount specifically designed for the Wraith Mini digital day/night riflescope. This Weaver/Picatinny mount offers multiple mounting positions, while still leaving plenty of rail space behind...
