Sightmark Wraith
The Sightmark Wraith HD 2-16x28 Digital Riflescope stands out with its impressive combination of day and night vision capabilities. Equipped with a powerful 850nm IR illuminator and a 1920x1080 CMOS sensor, the Wraith delivers ultra-crisp imaging, even detecting objects up to 200 yards at night. The 8x digital zoom, paired with a 1280x720 FLCOS screen, ensures fine details are captured, whether in daylight or low-light conditions. What I found particularly useful was the versatile viewing modes, allowing a seamless transition from vibrant daytime color to black-and-white or green night vision modes. With 10 customizable reticle options in 9 colors, the Wraith offers adaptability for a wide range of shooting needs. Plus, the built-in 1080p HD video recording lets you preserve your hunts and adventures, making this scope a great tool for both performance and memories.
Leupold VX-4.5HD

The Custom Dial System (CDS) allows for precise adjustments, making it easy to dial in for longer shots. Overall, this scope is a reliable choice for hunters seeking a balance of performance, durability, and ease of use.
