CVLIFE2.5-10x40e Red & Green Illuminated Scope with 20mm Mount

I purchased 3 of these, for 3 different rifles.For the price, these scopes with built-in laser lights can't be beat.The laser offers a very fast target aquisition at closer ranges.These have become my favorite scopes overall. (Yes, I have several others)I have longer, high powered scopes for long range shooting. (500 - 1000+ meters)But for shooting at or less than 300 meters, these work very well, and the price can't be beat.

Works very well,

For the price I'm very impressed. Although they are lying about its magnification capabilities. The glass is super clear and clean. I'd recommend

Put this on a AR. Install was a no-brainer. The fit on the rail was perfect with the tightening knobs were able to seat and tighten the scope all you need with just your hands.I have about 200 rounds with this scope and here’s what I’ve found.First it’s NOT 2.5 X 10. More like a 1 X 6 as best as I can tell. This is plenty for what I’m using it for but just wanted to get that out there. Next, the control knob for the reticle illumination is really tight. This may work loose over time but it’s difficult to turn. I’ve read from others that the reticle illumination sucks because it lights up the interior of the scope’s tube. This is true, it does however if you’re using correct eye relief it’s not an issue because you don’t see the inside of the tube anyway. Still, they could’ve done better.Now onto the good parts.It holds its zero spot on. At least this far for me. The illumination has enough settings to be effective in all light levels that you would need it for.The laser switch is not located so it’s easy to use with a AR platform but the green laser seems to be especially effective, even in daylight out to about 25 yards or so. I would not buy the red laser. It’s useless in the daylight at any distance. In the dark they are both effective.I can’t speak to how durable it is. I suspect it’s OK on that front but not “ Military” grade.The glass is fine. No complaints there.The scope has a sun visor on the front. Not a fan of that. Would prefer a standard straight cut on the tube.For the money you spend it’s as good as you’ll find and is on par with some of the more expensive scopes. I would consider it again should I need another scope of its type.

Nicely built, easy to adjust, clarity is excellent !

Overall a nicely made unit. The only thing I didn’t like was the illumination lit up the whole interior of the scope.kind of a distraction.

This scope is crystal clear and was easy to zero in. By zeroing in the green laser to co-witness the crosshairs, it's very fast to find your target, even at night. The green laser is visible during the day, which is not something that a red laser is good at.I've been pleased so far. I just can't bring myself to buy a scope that costs more than my rifle, when I can buy 20 of these for the same price. And, if I would happen to destroy one of these, it won't break the bank to replace it.

First of all... I am no sharp shooter or pretend sniper. I am simply a 50+ year old man that has been shooting/hunting all my life and am relatively familiar with rifles and scopes. I have been having a problem with varmints and birds on my property so put this on my GAMO Magnum Swarm Pro Gen 3i air rifle to see about getting a better optic than what came with the rifle. I cannot tell you HOW disappointed I am in the mounting of this thing. THREE TIMES it has jumped off the rifle and bounced off the ground. So... as far as being able to tell you how good the optics are, or how good it's MOA is, or how well the adjustments are at getting the reticle zeroed... I have NO IDEA.At first, I replaced the Gamo scope with this and tightened it down with the turret caps on the rail mount clamp. They are knurled on the outer edge so I cranked real hard as tight as I could hand tight (I am a career first responder and not weak by any means) and I planned on running 10 rounds through it just to see how it was right out of the box. I figured I would leave it hand tight as 10 rounds from an air rifle wouldn't loosen things up would it? Uh... apparently 7 rounds does. On the 8th shot the scope popped up and back like it was a shell casing being ejected from the rifle, then tumbled to the ground below (dropped about 3.5 feet from my table).Second time, I added a little more torque using a set of channel locks with a piece of leather in between the turret cap and the locks to prevent damage from the jaws and snugged it up about 1/2 a turn past my hand tightened capabilities. Again... I just want to get a few rounds through this so I can see how it will perform. 30-ish rounds later and POP GOES THE WEASEL... again! :-( This time the front shroud to a hit and bent in, fortunately not into the sight area, and one of the adjustment turrets got nicked as well.Third time... at this point said forget this - I can't return it now since its damaged, so I cranked it down a full turn and then some with vice grips knowing that it wasn't going to move now. WRONG... 27 shots later POP... and the stupid scope goes tumbling to the ground below, again putting some gouges in the laser adjustment turret and the rear optic housing.So... how the scope does I can't say for sure. It seemed to start sighting in very nicely but then it would pop off the rifle. At this point, I am so disappointed with the quality of the mount I cannot in good conscience recommend to anyone else purchasing this scope, and if all CV Life scopes are this bad I can't recommend them at all.I am VERY disappointed in this scope. I will be reaching out to CV Life to let them know about my experience and then I will update here if I hear anything from them.Good Luck if you decide to try out this scope... but buyer beware.
