I got the Sightmark Wraith Mini 4k a while back. I really like it. It is a budget scope but it does everything I need. I only shoot up to 20 yard or less most the time, mostly at night. Perfect for that. I really have no complaints. I wish the IR torch would not take 3 clicks to turn off, and I wish it would be lower intensity. I actually ordered another torch to replace it. Also, I wish the scope would have a standby mode. But it does turn on quickly. Not instant though. Otherwise it is a great budget NV scope. I highly recommend it.

The PARD is a good budget option also. I have tried it and I really did like it. The problem with the PARD, for me, was that after zeroing, the crosshairs did not return to the center of the screen. Not a big deal for most but I hated it and returned it for that reason. You can remedy that with an infinity scope mount but that is another hmmm $200 I think. You can see this issue on YouTube reviews. The Mini does return to center. I don't know the Infiray.

I have the PARD DS35 - 50RF LRF on my Benjamin Akela and it is an excellent match. Once you figure out the button-ology of the PARD you can navigate through relatively quickly. There are about five profiles (A, B, C, D, and E) you can save with different ballistic information for each setting like scope zero distance in yds/m, projectile weight/BC, elevation, temperature, etc) Pretty nifty. After using the 50, I do think the higher available max magnification of the 70 is the better option. I have not experienced the crosshair anomaly that Huncowboy mentioned. I have FX no limit rings on it which helps me add MOA elevation while the scope x-y axis is zeroed (easy to zero by selecting factory "default" in the settings menu.) This is an excellent hunting platform day/night.

Yes I understand the crosshairs thing. Screen way off center. I had to use the eagle vision pard 108 moa adjustable base to center my wraith HD on my Texan. I went with a cold shot mil adjustable base now. Best of both worlds. Use night vision and dial the base for elevation.. The only thing it lacks is good rangefinder unit. The new pard ds35 looks pretty good. The built in rangefinder and ballistic unit is built for airgun s. Should actually work. Get the lowest base magnification you can. I'd prefer 2x base mag for airguns. Must have a rangefinder built in for airgun s!!! Can't use day rangefinder at nignt. I have cheap night laser rangefinder but its not.reliable. LE032.. DS35 seems.awesome... Wish I had one lol

There are about six profiles (pellet/slug, caliber, weight, BC, power setting, etc you can program into the scope. Pretty nifty.

Maybe the crosshair issue has been fixed for the new one. The PARD I had, and sent back, was an older model. I believe mine was from 2021.
