CVLife rolled out the Bear Swift multiple reticle solar red dot, a completely solar powered reflex sight that runs off of an internal solar charging battery. The Bear Swift features a selectable 2MOA dot and a 32 MOA circle/starburst reticle. It has a Glock MOS footprint which along with this low base, allows it to co-witness to factory iron sights.

Overall build quality is top-notch and a far cry from CVLife’s budget offerings from 10 years. The glass is flat, the reticle is crisp, and it has motion activation from sleep to concerve battery life. It has a rated 20,000 runtime at low brightness on the dot which is over 2 years.

The BearSwift is an alternative to the CVlife WildHawk X, which has a back-up solar panel but runs off a replaceable coin battery but that has a RMR footprint. https://youtu.be/emxu_VHTdes

The completely solar-powered unit is useful for shooters who regularly go to the range, which would allow regular racharging of the internal battery. But for occasional shooters, collectors, or as a bedside gun, the requirement for solar charge can pose an issue. It would have been nice if this optic had a USB-C or magnetic charging as a backup.
