CVLIFE 1X22X33 Red Green Dot Gun Sight Scope Reflex Sight with 20mm Rail

I'll be honest, I didn't have high hopes for this little red dot, and was pleasantly surprised. A friend of mine wanted to shoot my AR-9 PCC, but I lent my primary optic to another friend in need. Not wanting to let him down, I had this CVLIFE optic overnighted, and for an optic that was $27 door-to-door, I'm very happy with it. For indoor range usage, I found the glass to be of acceptable quality and clarity for my purposes. I do appreciate the red and green dot options. It's nice to have brightness options as well for both colors. When I got to the range, I was hitting a little left, but still level, so I adjusted the optic with the included tool to center things. After that quick range zeroing, it worked out great and found it to be exactly what we needed for the day. Time will only tell how battery life is and if it maintains its zero. I really like that CVLIFE added a lens cover for the optic to protect it.

I bought this sight in 2022 and never looked back. An EXCELLENT CHOICE with versatility that's second to none, and better than many with it's Dot, Circle/Dot, Crosshair/Dot and Crosshair/Circle/Dot combination of sighting pictures/reflections! As well, you get your choice of 5 different brightness settings in either red or green. Settings low enough to see any of them at dusk/night clearly, to super bright so you can see them in the sun light! Runs on a CR2032 battery sold everywhere... and my original btty that came with it 3 years ago is still powering it as bright as the day I got it! It's sat for several months at different times in the off position and has never failed once. I see a LOT of bad reviews claiming folks have zeroed it in with a laser bore/chamber sight and then claimed they couldn't hit the broad side of barn. I think MOST of the complainers have no clue how to check their laser bore/chamber zeroing equipment for true zero and that is the reason they can't hit the broad side of a barn with their firearm!!! Just because it says "Bore Sight" for sighting in your scopes and red dot or iron sights etc DOESN'T MEAN *it* is properly zeroed in to begin with. Why do you think you must zero in your scopes or red dot sights? Because many aren't truly zeroed in at the factory after how many thousands pass down the line! Think about that for a minute relative to laser bore-sighting equipment. Do your home work guys and gals! Learn how to check your test/alignment/zeroing equipment to be sure it's at it's optimal best before you go blaming another piece of equipment that relies on *that* piece of equipment you're ASSUMING is perfect in the first place! This red dot sight is very accurate once setup and zeroed in with properly tested sighting-in equipment that's truly zeroed before hand. Almost *every* reviewer that's complained admits the sighting/zeroing process is repeatable. Doesn't that tell you something!?!? This sight is no different than the $200-400 sights in quality and craftsmanship, except those manufacturers have taken the time to be sure it's zeroed in at the factory level so you'll PAY their asking price as they constantly/consistently check their factory testing/zeroing equipment over and over. That costs time and money that your paying extra for with VERY few exceptions on the market. Those exceptions are generally red dot *scopes* with coated optics that magnify etc. This red dot sight as others have corrected reviewers about, *IS NOT A SCOPE*! It's a clear piece of ground glass that the internal light producing the red dot you see is reflected on! Therefore it's a sight that serves the same purpose as iron sights. I own three different CVLIFE brand sighting pieces of equipment, 2 rifle scopes and this red dot sight. Every one of them are high quality sights for the money that do what they're designed to do if/when properly set up. No they're not $5k Zeiss scopes etc, but as others have said, you get what you pay for as a rule of thumb. But I'm here to say their ARE exceptions, and CVLIFE is one of those exceptions IMHO. One CVLIFE scope I own is mounted on a 5.56 AR-15, one on a .458 SOCOM AR-15, and this red dot currently on a 12GA bullpup shotgun with a 20" smooth bore barrel that puts slugs inside a 3” circle at 50 yards all day long! For what they cost, I can't say enough good about CVLIFE products at this point. I'm a private individual that was not promised, given, or-coerced in any way for my 2¢ worth of opinion stated here. I payed retail price for these out of my own pocket just as most of you have and I'm *NOT* affiliated with CVLIFE, or any other company for that matter. This is MY own 2¢ worth of opinion. Take it for what it's worth. I'm just tired of people bad mouthing things because they don't know what they're talking about, doing, or even how to do things correctly. I see this mentality *everywhere* and just got tired of it, so I stated my opinion! You don't have to like or even agree with it! ..but if you've read this far, then I thank you for your time and interest. So there you have it! Ignore those that don't do as noted above and have nothing good to say because of their own lack of knowledge about what they're doing, their own shortcomings, or how to do things properly. This is a good red dot sight when properly adjusted and set up with properly tested and known good setup equipment. Get someone that knows what they're doing to set it up if you don't. Not everything's perfect in life and their are flawed units out there, but far *more* than 16k people bought this red dot sight and folks are still buying it. They can't all be wrong! ...and only 16k of 'em left a review! Go figure!!! Get yourself one or two of these sights and get it/them set up properly! I promise, you won't regret it. ...Enjoy!

For a $20 red dot, CVLife delivers a surprisingly good product. I bought a box full of these and most have held up very well on 5.56x45, 7.62x39, and even 12 gauge with 3" magnums. One of them never seemed to work right and a second one fell apart quickly. The red and green dots are bright and clear, and the other reticles are fun. I've been highly satisfied with the good ones. When it's a fraction of the cost of the name brands, you can just buy several, throw out any duds, and still come out ahead.

Not sure who is the blame. Ordered one of the sights and was very happy with the product. Good product at a good price...I thought. Came in nicely padded box with batteries and instructions. Put it on an AR 22 rifle for a granddaughter, right handed, left eye dominant, so figured a better targeting device for her. Liked it so well ordered another one but as soon as I opened the shipping box, I had a sinking feeling in my guts, Wrong brand box for packaging, sight doesn't fit properly so had a sheet of ruled paper torn into three pieces then wadded up as packing material. No batteries, though did have the instructions. Tried battery I had on hand, nothing. Bought some new 2032 batteries, put them in and nothing on the screen at any position. Tried another battery, nothing. Also noticed that the selection knob for the crosshairs was so loose, recoil would have moved the switch position. Probably a returned item just resold without checking out the product first. $ad state of marketing. Review update, 03-03-26 Not sure if this is the right way to amend a review so here's for the best...CVLIFE contacted me after the review saying they would send me a full refund. As mentioned in the original review, the sight was in a an anomalous box with none of the regular original items. Since I was happy with a previous sight I had bought, I wanted a sight, not a refund. I asked for a sight instead of the refund and I got the new sight. It came in and I checked it out and all is good with it. It's on a rail right now. My next sight of this type will be through CVLIFE again. Glad CVLIFE contacted me on here.

So cheap and affordable. Works awesome and installs easy on rail. Lines up great with rear and front site posts! Great clarity for red and green dots. Easy battery to switch out. Great PRODUCT.

This is the second one that I ordered. The price is great and the optics are perfect. Very easy to zero on my crossbow and the selection of site projections are outstanding for targets.

Fairly decent low-cost reflex sight. I do like its functionality and generally solid build and materials. Mostly aluminium with a little plastic in non-stress areas. Lens is glass with a mirrored front and lens frame is metal, clearly not a toy. It projects a clean reticle (4 available at 5 intensities) in either red or green with minimal parallax. So why only 3 stars? My example was delivered with a 2.5mm set screw installed in the 3mm hole for the windage and elevation lockdown. Needless to say it was just spinning in the wind and literally fell out. Fortunately I was able to replace it with a 3mm black anodized cap screw I had on hand. Looks great and better functionally than original. Overall I like it and believe it represents considerable value for the price, IF supplied with correct hardware.

Got shipped to me. Super fast. Way ahead of schedule actually. Good product. Solid feel. Includes two batteries so that's awesome. Because now you got a spare. Works great. Both the red and green are nice and bright
