Ditto, absolutely love the night time image from my yukon sightlinen470s. As the OP mine is on dedicated night time fox rifle (t3x in 204) and its exactly the jobby.

I’ve got a wraith 4-32 & it’s not bad considering the price. I’ve shot foxes to 250yds with it on the .243 (using a laser IR, the one that it comes with is gash). It’s a bit fiddly when wearing gloves, and did lose zero once when I first got it a year ago but hasn’t done that again.

Absolutely this.
Get a wraith. I shoot all my foxes with it. Never gone wrong, image quality is spot on, I'm out 4 nights a week and not missed a beat. Wouldn't bother with all this expensive crap it's just more money to lay out on something that's no better
Good for you and I'm happy you're happy with your Wraith
I tried one and thought it was terrible - washed out daytime colour, poor NV image and a letterbox sized display that made me think I was sitting in the front row of a cinema showing a very wide screen movie
Thermal is not crap - it's more expensive than NV, but it's definitely not crap
BTW - have you ever tried a thermal scope on foxes?

Another here for the Wraith HD. It may not be the very best but it allows me to shoot foxes out to 200 yards at night which to my mind is plenty far enough.
One thing you can be sure of is there will always be something better, clearer, more expensive and so on, will you shoot more foxes with? I doubt it! As an example, I shoot a lot of foxes still using the Archer I bought fifteen or more years ago.

yep agree 100% as long as the unit whatever breed it is - does what you want and is safe to use for 100% ID and works as it should it’s all good, there is a barrel full gear available now in all different prices finding the unit that suits you and what you expect from it is another thing
i’m looking for another thermal that just works with no frills at the moment there are so many out there that you wonder if buying one is the right move with the market constantly bringing out new technology and deals and new companies makes you feel your just another sales target to be sold what’s available or at the end of its shelve life
bring back the red lamp and back battery pack i say
Youve got to be kidding. I agree, not the most expensive unit out there but bang for buck wise I'd sat the best. I didn't mention thermal even though it's harder to identify things with thermal than it is nv. Iv used most things on the market and wraith is the best hands down

top marks for the archer mine is over 15 years old and used all the time
Like I said, if you're happy with your wraith, then fine.
However, given how few of these have been sold compared to virtually all other NV scopes available, it suggests your opinion is not shared by many

Wow! so not many Wraiths sold then. You have really surprised me with that, how it was being pushed by some Youtube stars as the best available in its price band I thought they were flying off the shelves .... really interesting that...Like I said, if you're happy with your wraith, then fine.

At a rough estimate based on speaking to various sellers, around 10 times more PARD NV008 digital scopes have been sold than Wraiths.
I know of one seller who has sold over 2000 PARD NV008s

Bruce why don't you just give in and try a Wraith HD out in the field rather than an hour in your garage looking across the rainy dull scottish street in the daylight at a roof for an hour?
Unless you have done, I don't think you qualify to comment on the scope.
Like all scopes, they have there plus and minus point's. Even the most expensive have there flaws.
To the OP.
Try to look through as many different scopes as you can and make your own mind up.
As for you Bruce, I will pull you up again for the umpteenth time and ask you to explain how much field experience you have had with the Sightmark Wraith HD?????

Wouldn’t have a Yukon gifted to be honest .Wasted a whole winter on trying out various products with none holding zero .Might of been me not knowing what I was doing or might of been the three units I tried one after the other .
If you want cheap nv mate from someone who is out there doing it not talking about it nor trying to sell you anything then get a pard .Either 007 or 8 ,both very good units for the money that have never let me down in 7 years of use .
The hype around thermal ,nv is nothing to do with quality or endurance but everything to do with getting you to spend money on the latest offering which to be honest does no more than the basic unit .If it kills foxes, and my tally will attest to that ,why spend silly money just to please the sheeple

I changed from night vision to thermal,and it was without a doubt better when you are looking for a fox in long-ish grass you will see it no problem with thermal the amount of foxes I didn’t get a shot at because of ir light coming back at me was a lot,I went from shooting 6 foxes a season to 30 with nv to over 60 with thermal,I was like most people who said don’t need nv or thermal as I didn’t need it years ago I’m 100% glad I changed to thermal,w
