Digital Optics for Hunting

[tx_shooter]

Considering our multiple conversations across other threads going back and forth on different digital optics and images; I figured I would start a thread to start posting images and reviews.

This week I have a Wraith 4k Mini in my possession to mount & zero on a friend's rifle. A couple of quick comparison pics against my AGM Rattler. The Wraith pictures are a bit dark in this; I did have the external IR light on but I think the settings in the Wraith need a bit of adjustment. The image in the scope was not that dark. I will get a day pic tomorrow of the same situation through the Wraith to round out the images.

Wraith 4k Mini - please note; this is at the lowest magnification settings at 4x

AGM Rattler 35 - please note; this is at the lowest magnification settings at 2x

Sure the IR was on? This is my Wraith HD at 2x at 75ish yards

I will double check it tomorrow. I had to put the batteries into the charger.

About to order some of these to add to the stock and function.

Updated original post with better picture. It seems the IR light has multiple settings. I will double check the results tomorrow with fresh batteries to see the difference.

Yeah it has a few different levels. Mine was on the highest in that video.

Took advantage of a situation last night to get some captures through the AGM Rattler of the zoom levels. The majority of time I am using this scope at 1x or 2x so far .

50 yards @ 1x

50 yards @ 2x

Your feeder is 50yds away? Are we bow hunting or rifle hunting?

Not "my" feeder. This is the setup the other guy has. He thought it was 100 yds till I took my range finder out there.

The lease will be done properly.

And right now hard to complain about a free hunting spot. But after I pushed him to start hunting other areas on the property and set up cameras to watch different areas he wants to change up a lot of this setup. Longer shooting lanes, multiple shooting lanes, and better entry / exit for hunters.

In his defense the father-in-law owns the land and setup the blind and feeder how he wants it. Of course he is not a big hunter or shooter either.

No wonder why your not seeing hogs.

Let him know I have a son who played outfield, and he can throw and hit that feeder from the stand with a baseball all day long,

We have killed a lot of hogs from that stand. Maybe you just need a bath so your hogs do not smell you in the stand.

Nah, I shoot 99% of them off the porch which has full facilities in the Redneck trailer trash house.

Speaking of said porch, some turkeys just came out to the feeder just now.
