CVLIFE 1x22x33 Reflex Sight Red and Green 4 Reticle Dot Sight with 2mW Red Sight Laser

Put this on my cheap Savage 22LR rifle which has dovetail grooves. The red dot does not fit dovetail rails which I knew going in. Ran to the local farm supply store (which has a huge gun/hunting department) and got an adapter rail. That did the trick after I figured out how to mount it. I must be a little gun accessory challanged. The rail has 4 long screws on one side and 4 short screws on the other side. After watching a YouTube vid, I got it. If you need to widen the rail mount, you tighten the long screws against the short screws until it spreads out. If you need to close the rail mount, you take the short screws out, take the long screws out and put them on the side where the short screws were and draw in the rail mount...duh! But we're not here to talk about my ineptness. On to the red dot...Easy to mount as it should be. I would suggest putting the batteries in before you mount it. Easier to handle to get the small laser batteries to drop in in. I sighted it in using a laser bore sight. Easy to do. Fired a couple shots and it was off a little. Put the bore sight back in and it was off about the same that my shots were. Re-zeroed. We'll see.I like the range of brightness levels and reticle choices. What I don't like is, you need two different sizes of allen wrenches (included) to make adjustments. I'm used to a scope where you carry a dime in your pocket to make any adjustments. Also, the two adjustments screws on the laser aren't as tight as I would like. I'll get some loctite and zero in again.I am primarily going to use the laser at night. We live in the country and have woods, ponds, and a river on our land and have a ton of critters. I know, that's to be expected and I'm not complaining. I plan on eliminating all threats around the house whether foreign or domestic. Our dog tangled with a raccoon a few weeks ago which prompted a trip to the vet to get her patched up. Plus, she spends more time eating rabbit crap than tending to her business. Just have to eliminte the source.Anyway, nice red dot /laser combo.

The build quality is pretty good, especially considering the pricing. The included extra batteries, glass wipes, Allen keys, and pressure pad are great. I used this optic primarily for a gel blaster, so I don't know how well this would work on a real firearm, but so far its been pretty durable and has managed to survive several drops and scratches without so much as some minor scratches to the outer shell.

Summary: If you want a red dot & laser combo for your airsoft gun, this is a decent choice, but there's parallax drift.Likes: It's bright, it's easy to install and the build quality is surprisingly solid. It feels well machined and even the plastic bits feel good for the money. The red dot holds its zero when used with a light pistol crossbow and co2 airsoft gun. Comes with an optional pressure switch to activate the laser. Comes with batteries for both the red dot and the laser. The red dot and the laser are both windage and elevation adjustable, but require wrenches for that (included.) There's 4 reticles to choose from and you can choose either red or green displays with a brightness of your choosing. I got mine for $44 which is perfectly reasonable.Dislikes: Serious parallax drift. If you're not looking exactly straight-on, your reticle will be OFF BY A WIDE MARGIN. This is a huge issue for me, since the purpose of the product is to serve as sights. However, if you mount this on a gun that you can get a solid repeatable cheek weld on, you can get some decent results. You get what you pay for.You can see halo effects around the reticle on high brightness. The sight eats through batteries faster than a modern, expensive brand-name red dot sight, but it will still last a while. Your target can see the glow of the red dot from the front, just very dimly, so keep that in mind for airsoft matches. You can't detach the laser unless you have a metric allen wrench that is not included. The adjustment screws for the laser came loose after a lot of shooting and had to be reset with loctite 242 blue threadlocker, and they work fine now. The written instructions are intended to serve for many different models and are rather confusing. The cable for the pressure activated switch wore out after intense use but I put the fault on myself and not the product.Conclusion: Again, you get what you pay for. This is a product that will perform well with novelties like airsoft guns, nerf and light pistol crossbows. I would not trust this thing to work well on a real firearm.

I had to return the 1st one, it wasn't wotking, but wanted to give it another try. So i reordered the same one, it arrived a day later ( free of charge) It works perfectly. Amazon is unbeaten.
