The Wraith comes with an infrared illuminator and an attached picatinny mount. The illuminator runs on two CR123 batteries and comes with a set in the box. The scope itself runs on four AA batteries or an external battery supply. You will have to purchase these to get the scope to run.

2. ATN X Sight LTV Ultra Light Day and Night Vision Rifle Scope
This scope is a simpler version of the legendary ATN X Sight 4K Pro. It has the best night sensor of all the scopes listed. It takes less light to see as well as all of the others.
The LTV comes in a traditional scope type of housing and uses 30 mm scope rings to attach it to a rifle. It comes with 30 mm picatinny rings and has an internal battery that will run the unit for 10 hrs.
It comes with an infrared Illuminator to use at night with night mode. The Illuminator uses 2 CR123 batteries and comes
with one set in the package.
This scope is simple and will only save 1 profile or set of coordinates for the zero. You can easily set more than one by using a one piece quick disconnect scope mount to make sure you are tight and manually recording more than one zero (X and Y coordinates) on paper. This scope utilizes ATN’s famous “1 shot zero” to zero the rifle. This makes it really easy without wasting too many bullets.
The LTV has different reticles with different colors. It also has the ability to record what the scope sees and requires a micro SD card (not included). You can operate the scope with the card, you just can’t record without it.
This scope comes in 2 base magnification models as well: the 3×9 and the 5×15.
