I have a couple and love them. I did upgrade the infrared on my main one to a coyote cannon. It is perfect if you want to sit in the blind at night and hunt hogs over a feeder. It is heavy so swinging around looking isn't ideal. I have done it but now have a thermal monocular to locate animals. It isn't thermal but if you don't need thermal or don't want to pay for thermal it is awesome.
I also love the daylight use, it is full color like you are looking at a small tv. I have shot plenty of deer in a regular hunt setting during daylight and the video helps know where the shot is (especially if you have kids use it).
I also love the multiple zeros/reticles. Some use to change from gun to gun or bullet to bullet. I use it for different yardages as I have a reticle set for 20 yards, 100 yards and 200 yards. No guessing just put it on the correct reticle and shoot.
I do have an HD and a 4k model. The 4k is nice but I don't know if it is extra money nice as the HD does everything well.

I dont have a lot of experience with night vision,no experience with thermal but I do have the Wraith HD mounted on a 308 and have really enjoyed it.Ive considered upgrading the infared illuminator to the coyote cannon as mentioned above but i can see well and shoot to over 200 yards,i might upgrade to the coyote one day. I have considered hunting with it in daylight as well since it has the daylight feature. I also need to look into the monocular. My opinion,for the money the Wraith is hard to beat.

I have a pulsar xp50 and a Wrath. If I'm shooting pigs I go thermal, but use the wrath for coyotes around the house. I can't tell the difference between my dogs and the yotes thru the thermal. I also have the coyote cannon. One thing I dislike about the Wrath is it eats thru a set of batteries pretty fast. I use rechargeable AAs but they don't last long.

Regarding the batteries, if you go the 4k route the battery is internal and decent. I also bought an external battery pack similar to what you would buy to charge a phone. Mine holds 4 phone charges and I can connect that to the wraith and not worry about the battery (as long as the external charger is charged). It is fairly small and I bought some ranger bands and attached it to the stock so it is always there. I believe the HD does this as well.

Works good. Mine is good to 100 yds and that's about it for range. Zero's easily and holds. I use the QD mount and it also holds perfect zero when switching rifles. I like being able to store settings for 4 different guns. Be sure to write down which position is for which gun. The only negative I can think of is the size and weight.
