I know I've seen recommendations pass by previously but can't find the thread.
I would like to hear what night vision scope you are using and recommendations...good or bad.
I don't plan to hunt coyotes for a living so economical options are appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm using a Sightmark Wraith and upgraded the light with a Sniper Hog Light 66LRX.
I like to use a rechargeable battery pack but the port where the cable plugs into the scope is fragile so be careful!
I mounted the light onto the bayonet lug and It's perfect there.
A thermal would be nice but I can't justify the cost for my situation.

Thank You for the information! I was just looking at a Sightmark Wraith on Cabelas website.
Today is 10% off for club members plus some saved-up points...I'm thinking of giving it a try.

They had them on a black friday sale but that's been turned off...
I got a second on the sale for my hunting buddy's rifle and burned all my points too so it saved a bunch of cash.
You might send a PM to rockinbbar for more info as he hunts at night, he encouraged me to set mine up!

I don't want to know the Black Friday price!
Always a great opportunity to save ....if you're ready and know what you want.
Thanks for the rockinbbar referral!

I bought a 2-16x Wraith 2 weeks ago. It was on sale at Optics Planet for $379.99. If you are a club card member at Cabela's, they will price match it with an additional 5% off. They had a 10% off offer as well for using Club Card so I ended up paying around $325 plus tax. I must say i'm pretty impressed with it. Took me 3 rounds to get it zero'd. Recording feature is pretty cool.. Battery life sucks so I'm plugging into a 20,000maH power bank moving forward. Looking into getting a better IR illuminator. Gets fuzzy when you zoom in to max power but I'm hoping to use this on coyotes and bobcats within 100 yards so I think it'll be perfect.

Sounds like I should've grown a wild hair for night vision about a week earlier!!
I had a lot of points saved up but it would've been nice to stretch them a little further.
I appreciate all the input!
I'm anxious for my 2-16x Wraith to show up...
