Sightmark Introduces Thermal Riflescope to Wraith Lineup
(MANSFIELD, TEXAS) – Taking an aggressive step towards making cutting edge technology even more accessible to every sportsman, Sightmark officially announced its latest iteration of the ‘Wraith’ lineup of digital riflescopes with the Wraith Mini Thermal Riflescope. Sightmark, the producer of popular the Wraith digital color/night vision riflescopes, announced today the Wraith Mini 2-16×32 Thermal Riflescope. Boasting a 384 sensor and 1400 yard detection range, the Wraith Mini Thermal Riflescope puts the latest in thermal technology in the hands of hunters everywhere.
“Our Wraith line has been an extremely successful,” said James Sellers, Sellmark Founder and CEO. “We wanted to take the next step in providing hunters with solutions that are efficient, effective and intuitive.
Building on the award winning Wraith 4K Mini design the Sightmark Wraith Mini Thermal Riflescope is a compact, lightweight optic. With a user-friendly step-through menu, the Wraith Mini Thermal Riflescope is perfect for hunters, law enforcement, security teams, home defense, boaters and nighttime explorers. The Wraith Mini Thermal’s 384×288 microbolometer sensor exposes hard-to-see elements on a 1024×768 digital display, while built-in audio and video recording to a micro-SD card provides users the ability to record their hunts in crisp detail.
The Sightmark Wraith Mini Thermal Riflescope also boasts a 17-micron pixel pitch, 2-16x digital zoom, 5 color display palettes and a wide array of reticle colors and styles for a fully customized field of view. The Wraith Mini Thermal also allows storage of up to five firearm profiles for quick, easy transitions across multiple rifle platforms.
Powered by CR123A batteries, the Wraith Mini Thermal delivers 3.5 to 4.5 hours of operation depending on video recording and other factors, and is compatible Lithium-ion power banks like Sightmark’s 6000 mAh, Picatinny rail compatible Mini QD Battery Pack for dusk-til-dawn use.
This thermal unit is designed to mount onto your gun’s Picatinny rail and will add 19.3 ounces of weight to it.
With a list price on Sightmark’s website of $2099.97, the cost should be roughly in line with some competitor thermal optics like the Burris BTS 35 or some of AGM’s Rattler options. Time will tell how it stacks up in terms of performance. What do you think of this new thermal option, readers? Do you think it’s likely to compare favorably in the thermal scope market?
