(MANSFIELD, TEXAS 2019/10/31) – Up until now, the popular Wraith HD digital scope only had one mounting option and it was for the AR platform. Now, bolt-action shooters can get in on the 24/7 hunting action provided by the Wraith too, thanks to the new Wraith Long Mount, designed specifically for use on bolt-action rifles.
Why Digital Night Vision for Bolt-Action Rifles?
Traditional bolt-action rifles are prized for their accuracy, reliability and simplicity. For decades, they’ve been the go-to choice for hunters, long-range shooters and backcountry marksmen. But modern challenges like nocturnal predators, low-light conditions and the growing popularity of nighttime hunting have made digital night vision a must-have tool. The Sightmark Wraith HD offers a digital solution that pairs perfectly with the precision of a bolt gun—and now with the Wraith Long Mount, compatibility is no longer an issue.
About the Wraith Long Mount
Weighing a mere 4.9 oz. and constructed from durable aluminum, the bolt-action Wraith Long Mount features a cantilever design with multiple mounting positions to give shooters the proper eye relief and ergonomic fit on a wide variety of traditional rifle platforms. This includes most standard hunting rifles chambered in popular calibers like .308, .30-06, 6.5 Creedmoor, and more.
This mount expands the use of the already versatile Wraith HD, which includes five weapon profile saves—making it easy to swap between different firearms without having to re-zero each time. Whether you're running a bolt-action deer rifle, predator varmint gun or a long-range target setup, the Wraith Long Mount gives you the flexibility to stay ready, day or night.
Applications for Bolt-Action Night Vision Use
Nighttime Hog and Predator Hunting
Hogs, coyotes, and foxes are often most active at night. Many hunters prefer bolt-action rifles for their superior accuracy, and now, thanks to the Wraith Long Mount, they can pair them with digital night vision without compromise. The detachable 850nm IR illuminator allows users to identify and engage targets at extended distances under full darkness—without spooking game.
Ranch and Property Defense
Ranchers and landowners who rely on bolt-action rifles to protect livestock from nighttime predators will benefit from the Wraith’s 24-hour capability. With onboard video recording and advanced digital reticles, you can monitor threats and keep documentation of each encounter if needed for legal or conservation purposes.
Backcountry Survival and Scouting
In remote environments where semi-autos aren’t allowed or are impractical, the bolt-action rifle reigns supreme. Hunters and trappers operating deep in the woods or mountains can now take advantage of digital night vision without needing to switch platforms. The compact and rugged Wraith system brings tech into traditional scenarios without sacrificing reliability.
Long-Range Shooting at Dusk and Dawn
Many hunters know that the best shot opportunities happen at the edge of legal shooting hours—when light is scarce. With a 4-32x digital zoom range and high-resolution display, the Wraith HD allows bolt-action users to place accurate shots at longer ranges, even in fading light. This is especially useful for Western hunts or in open country.
Digital Features That Enhance Your Traditional Rifle
The Wraith HD is more than just a night vision scope—it’s a fully featured digital optic built for modern shooters. Features include:
- Color mode for daytime shooting
- Two infrared night vision modes
- 10 selectable reticles with color customization
- Detachable 850nm IR illuminator for extended range
- High-definition 1920×1080 CMOS sensor and 1280×720 display
- Built-in HD video recording for capturing your hunts
- Additional side Weaver rail for mounting accessories like lasers or secondary lights
Upgrade Your Bolt Gun with Modern Capability
If you’ve been holding off on night vision because you shoot a bolt gun, your wait is over. With the Wraith Long Mount, the highly acclaimed Sightmark Wraith HD digital night vision riflescope can now be mounted securely and comfortably to most bolt-action platforms, bringing the world of 24-hour shooting to traditional rifle users.
