The Cyelee Wolf Pro Punches Above its Weight

The cyelee wolf pro is marketed as a higher tier offering from the Cyelee red dot lineup. At a $186 price point, it is competitively priced with other RMR pistol optics on the market. But how well does it stack up against the competition? Today we're going to give our honest and unbiased review of this pistol optic.

Now full disclosure, Cyelee provided this optic to us for free for testing. Manufacturers will sometimes send us free stuff to get our opinions on it, but we are in no way compensated by the manufacturer for reviewing their products. Our goal is to make sure we educate consumers on products well, and while we can't afford to review every product that comes on the market, it is helpful when a manufacturer sends us something for free. 95% of products featured on our channel or blog we purchase out of pocket. We don't have a relationship with Cyelee outside of agreeing to review this product. We do our absolute best to structure things in a way that we can remain unbiased.

That said, Cyelee gave us a coupon code to provide to our viewers that will include 15% off if purchased on Amazon. You can use code this code on either the Wolf Pro in this video, or the Wolf 2 used in last week's video. Use code CRACKW15 to get 15% off. We don't get anything from Cyelee if you purchase. We do have an affiliate partnership with Amazon for products purchased using our links, but this is completely separate from any agreement with Cyelee.

Okay with all that out of the way, lets get onto the review. So last week we reviewed the cyelee wolf 2, which I actually really, really liked, especially at the price point of $117. The Cyelee Wolf pro cost almost $70 more, so is it worth it?

It may or may not be for you, but lets dig in to what we like and don't like about the optic.

So lets talk about first impressions first. The cyelee wolf pro is an RMR footprint optic. Its marketed as a budget red dot option that punches above its weight. So it made sense to test this out on one of my favorite pistols that you've seen in tons of my videos, the PSA dagger, which is a budget pistol that also punches above its weight.

One of the nice things about the Cyelee Wolf pro is they include a ton of screws for a variety of different mounting situations. I was shocked. So many screws. One unique thing was this set of screws which is wider to fill the mounting holes in the optic, but threaded on bottom to fit tight to the slide. I've never seen mounting screws like this, but these make a ton of sense.

A little bit of blue loctite on the screws, and a sidebar, I started using the loctite stick blue loctite, and it is so much better than the liquid stuff. We were off to the races.

So I took the wolf pro to my indoor range, and I have to say, my first impressions were good. The optic performed well. I ran a variety of drills throughout the night. The optic never lost zero. It was actually near zeroed out of box, similar to the way Holosun ships their optics. I don't know if that was coincidence or if that's standard practice for cyelee, but it was nice to have a dot that wasn't miles off from the get go.

The optic performed well. Running bill drills I was able to pick up the dot fast enough and transitioning between A zone boxes was easy. Overall, it performs as well as any of my other red dots including higher end options in terms of usability. The optic is fairly low profile and minimalist. The body is pretty average in thickness, it doesn't sit low enough that you could cowitness standard height sights, like say the Holosun SCS or EPS models, but the overall profile is fairly sleek.

The optic does have some nice quality of life things that are upgrades over cyelee's other offerings. The battery pull out tray is a really nice conveinece thing. While the unscrew top battery system on the Wolf 2 is also convenient, battery tray implementations like those found on Holosun or the Sightron SRS-2 are ultra convenient.

The shape of the body is also a smart design. It has a slightly curved front. The curved design hypothetically prevents damage to the glass since the glass is recessed further back. It actually reminds me a bit of Vortex's defender line in that design choice.

The last thing to discuss here are the turrets. I'm not a fan of the turrets, and I wasn't a big fan on the wolf 2 either. The turrets are set up very similarly to Swampfox's Liberty and Justice models, or Primary Arms Classic series red dot. They do have flat blade adjustment which I like versus some obscure sized allen wrench. However, click adjustment is always preferable to no clicks. The marketing sells these as being infinite MOA.

Overall I plan to keep mine and I look forward to running it in a few local practice competition matches. I hope this video was helpful to you, if it was please consider subscribing. Check back next week for another great video. Have a great day!
