CAT X PRO

Dot is wonderful. Functions as advertised and does a good job at holding zero as a quality optic should. Basic necessities that would warrant a “good optic” are there. speaking in terms of dollar per pound I feel like this is a good buy. But in the 150-275ish$ range you’ll find that with this optic as well as most others in the same price range will have their issues. For instance amd I don’t wanna go on and on but if you ADS into the bright sky? You see the etching of the redicle as well as an outline of the sight as if it’s turned on but it’s not. Literally a shadow of what would be the dot if it was on but while it’s off: just doesn’t seem like something you’d find in a trijicon or eotech. But you’re easily doubling the price for MINOR subtleties that just don’t really affect your average shooter. Making this a great option for those who want a great optic but for a price Thats not going to smoke the wallet. (Picture provided of ghost reticle below look closely at the black railing you’ll see a red haze. It’s not glass glare Thats the etching for the reticle projecting through backwashing light)

I bought the Cato G first. This Rmsc optic found a home on my PSA Micro Dagger. My astigmatism works with it as long as I keep the brightness low. It's reliable and held zero perfectly. The glass is clear. I co witness with it. A Cat X Pro was another Rmsc cut optic I purchased. It has a red 3 MOA dot and a 30 MOA circle. This actually works well with my astigmatism, as long as I keep the brightness low. The bigger target does not sunburst. I have a plate on my Canik Mete SFT Arctic White 9mm and it also co witnesses and the screen is huge. The glass is slightly green, but very nice. That photo with the red dot is not what the dot looks like, instead it is clear and defined. It also has held zero perfectly. They both came with enough screws and the Cat X Pro came with a heavy duty rubber cover and a handy tool. The dots have not disappeared like on some other red dots I've tried. I'm waiting on the astigmatism Rmsc cut model supposed to come out soon. I will try it and then they'll be three. I'll wait till I see it to decide what pistol I'll be mounting it on. As I have more red dots than semi autos I'll have to retire one of my other red dots or probably just buy another Rmsc cut pistol for the new Cylee. They've been sturdy built, offer good value and overall are great optics.

It’s sturdy and crisp and the glass is crystal clear. Love the reticle. Has a solid window for its size. Great fit for my Sig Sauer P322.

I was planning to buy the Holosun 507K, but this optic was much more affordable, and online reviews called it underrated. I decided to give it a try and purchased it. The build quality is excellent, and it was delivered the next day. I highly recommend this product and plan to install it on my Canik MC9 Prime.

My Search For the Perfect Red Dot…Did I Find The Industry Sleeper?
The Sleeper Red Dot Optics: My Search for the Best Budget-Friendly Red Dot

Like many gun owners, I found myself on a mission to find the right red dot optic. I wanted something rugged, reliable, and feature-packed—something that could hold its own against the likes of Holosun, Trijicon, Aimpoint, and Swampfox. But there was one big catch: I had a budget.

So, I did what any dedicated shooter would do. I read. I watched. I researched. I went down the rabbit hole of forums, YouTube reviews, and side-by-side comparisons. I wanted the best value for my money without sacrificing quality. And that’s when I stumbled upon what I now consider to be one of the best-kept secrets in the red dot world—the Cyelee Cat X, Cat X Pro, Wolf X, and Wolf X Pro.

Feature for Feature, They Compete With the Big Names...

The more I dug into Cyelee, the more I realized these optics weren’t just another budget-tier option—they were legit contenders. Here’s why:

✅ Crisp Reticle & Clear Glass – No hazy tint or distortion, just a sharp dot and a clean sight picture.
✅ Shake Awake & Auto-Off – Same motion-activated technology you’d expect from higher-end optics.
✅ Long Battery Life – Efficient power management keeps you in the fight longer.
✅ Durability & Recoil Resistance – Built to handle real-world abuse and harsh conditions.
✅ Industry-Standard Footprints – Compatible with popular pistol and rifle mounting patterns.
✅ Side-Loading Battery Compartment – A game-changer! Unlike other optics that require removal (and re-zeroing) to change batteries, Cyelee optics use a side-loading design, meaning you can swap batteries without losing your zero.

Did I mention they come with just about every conceivable mounting **** known to mankind? And, they're already dotted with Loctite too!

Budget Price, Premium Performance

After finally getting my hands on the Cyelee Cat X Pro, I was blown away. It did everything I needed—and then some—at a fraction of the cost of the “premium” brands. Then I tested the Wolf X Pro, and my opinion was sealed: Cyelee isn’t just good for the price—it’s just good, period.

Bottom Line?

💰 Budget-friendly price, but the quality is anything but budget-grade.

If you’re looking for a high-quality red dot without the premium price tag, do yourself a favor and check out the Cyelee Cat X, Cat X Pro, Wolf X, and Wolf X Pro. These optics are the sleeper picks in the red dot world, and once you try them, you’ll wonder why you ever thought you had to spend more.

I'm in the market for a Wolf X Pro and now I'm looking at outfitting my rifles with their Picatinny mount optics as well. Not only do they look great, but, their quality and the toughness of their design & build make these a necessity.

Bought this for my gx4 carry and it fits perfectly. Can't wait to take it to the range.
