Sightmark Wraith 2 LRF: Thermal Scopes Get a Rangefinder

Last updated October 2026 · By Nick Hall, who covers thermal optics and night hunting gear for USA Gun Shop readers

Quick take: Sightmark has launched the Wraith 2 LRF, a pair of thermal riflescopes with a laser rangefinder built into the housing. The 384 model is $1,999.97 and the 640 is $3,499.97. For night hog and predator hunters, that means one less device in the dark.

• What it is: Two thermal riflescopes, the Wraith 2 LRF 384 (SM17006) and Wraith 2 LRF 640 (SM17013), each with a Class 1 rangefinder that reads 5 to 1,000 yards.
• Price: $1,999.97 for the 384 and $3,499.97 for the 640 on Sightmark’s own store.
• Where: Both product pages went live on October 22, 2026 and showed In Stock the following morning.
• Why it matters: Sightmark calls the built-in rangefinder a first for the Wraith series, so you can spot, range and hold without lowering the rifle.

Anyone who has hunted hogs at night knows the problem. The thermal finds the heat, then you are guessing at distance or fumbling for a handheld in the dark while the sounder keeps walking.

What Sightmark Put Inside the Wraith 2 LRF

Sightmark published both product pages on October 22, 2026, and the same day ran a launch article on its own blog. The Wraith 2 LRF 384 product page describes the new line as “one of two optics in the new Wraith 2 line, both equipped with an integrated laser rangefinder” and calls that rangefinder “a first for the Wraith series.”

Both scopes use Vanadium Oxide thermal sensors with a 12 micron pixel pitch and a 60 fps frame rate, shown on a 1024×768 OLED display. The rangefinder is a Class 1, 905 nm laser that reads 5 to 1,000 yards and puts the distance on screen.

Sightmark’s launch article opens with the pitch in plain terms: “Spotting a hog in the dark is one thing. Figuring out how far away it is, well, that’s another problem entirely.” Fair enough. That is the whole reason this product exists.

Wraith 2 LRF 384 vs 640: The Spec Split

The two models share a body and split on the sensor. The 384 runs a 384×288 core behind a 35 mm objective and starts at 3x optical, and Sightmark labels it a 3-24×35. The 640 runs a 640×512 core behind a 40 mm objective, starts at 2x, and wears the 2-16×40 label.

Both get 1-8x digital zoom on top of that base magnification, turned with the red dial. Sightmark lists NETD at 20 mK for the 384 and under 20 mK for the 640.

Detection range on the spec tables is 2,350 yards for the 384 and 2,730 yards for the 640, measured on a target 4.9 feet tall. Sightmark is upfront that this is a best-case number: “Detection isn’t identification.” Seeing a warm blob at a mile and change is not the same as knowing whether it is a boar or a calf.

The weights are almost identical. Sightmark lists the 384 at 31.1 ounces and the 640 at 30.8 ounces with both caps on, and both are 6.9 inches long.

Why a Built-In Rangefinder Matters After Dark

Ranging at night is where a lot of thermal setups fall apart. You either carry a separate unit like the ones in our best rangefinders guide, or you estimate off the reticle and hope the hog is the size you think it is.

Here the ranging lives on the scope. Double-tap a button and the distance shows on the display, along with the angle, and Sightmark quotes accuracy of plus or minus 1 yard out to 200 yards and plus or minus 0.5 percent from 200 to 1,000 yards.

If you enter your rifle, ammunition and environmental data and switch on trajectory calculation, Sightmark says the scope can also show an estimated aiming point that accounts for bullet drop. Five weapon profiles each save their own reticle and zero, which helps if one thermal rides on more than one of your hog hunting rifles over a season.

But keep your expectations sane. The laser reads to 1,000 yards, and for a hog hunter the real gain is speed, not reach.

The Redesigned Wraith Body and the Rest of the Kit

Sightmark says the Wraith 2 “looks completely different from its predecessors,” with a new housing, Picatinny rails on the sides for accessories such as an external battery pack and a twist-off battery cap in place of the old push-button door. The blog is blunt about what those rails are not for: “Adding an IR illuminator won’t help a thermal scope see better.”

Power comes from a removable 18650 cell rated for up to 4.5 hours in preview mode, and Sightmark puts two batteries and a USB-C charger in the box. One catch worth knowing before your first long sit: the USB-C port can run the scope from a power pack, but it cannot charge a battery while it is inside the scope.

The aluminum alloy housing is rated IPX6, which Sightmark describes as rain and water-jet resistant, not submersible. Operating range is -4°F to 122°F.

On the screen side you get five palettes (White Hot, Black Hot, Rainbow, Green Hot and Iron Heat), 14 reticles split into four first focal plane and ten second focal plane options in nine colors, plus Wi-Fi, photo and video recording through the Sightmark app.

Price, Stock and Which One to Buy

Sightmark’s store lists the 384 at $1,999.97 and the Wraith 2 LRF 640 at $3,499.97, and both showed In Stock when we checked on October 23. For context, Sightmark’s own Wraith Mini 2-16×35 thermal lists at $1,699.97, so the rangefinder-equipped 384 costs $300 more than the smaller Wraith on the same site.

I’d bet the 384 is the volume seller, and for good reason. A hunter working fields and senderos at typical night distances gets the higher 3x starting magnification and the rangefinder for $1,500 less than the 640, while the shooter who glasses big open country and wants to resolve detail on distant heat signatures is the one who should pay for the 640’s larger sensor and wider scanning view.

We have not had either scope on a rifle yet, so we cannot speak to image quality or how the ranging holds up on a cold night. If you are pricing the wider field first, our best thermal scopes guide is the place to start.

One more note. Sightmark marks the Wraith 2 as controlled for export under the Export Administration Regulations. Do not plan on taking it on a hunt abroad without checking the rules first.

Spot the heat. Range it. Take the shot or let it walk.
