CVLIFE 2.5-10x40e Red & Green Illuminated Scope with 20mm Mount

Love this little scope! And the customer service is above and beyond. At this price point you don't have high expectations. But this little scope works great. I have it mounted to a .300 BLK The optics are clear and crisp even out to around 200 yards. I used my .300 BLK to take a white tail this year, nice 8 point at about 100 yards. The laser is bright but I have to be honest I don't use the laser, the backlighted reticle is clear. The scope has been mounted since 2023 and I haven't had issues with losing zero even after falling in a snow drift and landing on the rifle, and my ass. Sometime during my fall I lost the battery cover. I sent a note to support on the website and asked if I could buy a new cover. I got a response right away and they said they would try to find a replacement in their warehouse. A couple days later the cover arrived in the mail. They didn't charge me for the cover or shipping. I would have happily paid. I highly recommend this scope and CVLIFE in general. They have a solid product at a reasonable price, and FANTASTIC customer service.

According to my 10x32 Leupold binoculars this scope is not 10x. I think it's more like 2.5 - 6. I would normally deduct 1 start for this but it costs under $50 so I forgive it. I won't need any more than 6x on my 9mm PDW. I replaced a really good 4 yrCVLife RDS with this because I wanted hold over markings in my reticle. Awesome scope and red laser. I spent another $25 on a pair of Butler Creek flip up covers so cudos to the scopes that include useable covers - I don't consider the included bikini covers usable. Now you know the bad. The good: It holds zero, clear glass, 40mm gathers light, great illumination, good laser, two-screw sturdy mount. It has a 100-500 range elevation adjustment knob that I won't use, so I no opinion on that.

Arrived as ordered Reticle is dual color. However the laser is red only. Good product for the price...

fit my rifle well. I like the optics. the color choices and laser are cool features.

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.

I love the scope. Easy to zoro . Laser as well My only complaint is the lighted cross hairs. Both batteries dead in less than a week in the of position. Please reply if you have the same issue. All in all Good scope.

Got this to try out on a 7.62x39 AR upper (16"). I was not expecting much, honestly, but wanted to see how well the upper worked and planned to use this as a testing platform, since it was the right configuration (excepting the laser on the side) and right price. Mounted and zeroed, I was surprised by the clarity of the scope and the quality of the build. It is not as good as the SIG tactical my brother has, nor as my Bushnell and Leupold offerings, but it is also a fraction of the cost of those, more compact, and perfectly suited to my needs for this project. After five rounds of zeroing, I was busting soda cans at 60y every time as long as I didn't rush things. A couple of things about this scope that I feel I have to mention: First, the laser. Couldn't pick it up cleanly at 60y in daylight. It is red, not very strong and is so far off axis, it is only going to be a close-range deal. Some would say that is what it is there for, but with a rifle, it is already point-and-shoot inside 20 yards anyway, and that laser is just going to get in your way. That is my opinion of it anyway - other may have different. Second is that the turrets do not have very good tactile, audible or visual feedback when turning. The windage just BARELY clicked when turning it and I had to struggle to feel any type of tactile indicator for clicks, while the elevation was a bit louder with clicks, but didn't seem to have any feel of the clicks. Neither turret had any useful indicator marks for come-up or come-down to indicate how much spin was on the barrels. That being said, I did not expect much at this price point and this scope impressed me. I shot 80 rounds through it the first day, at ranges from 20y to 150y. The scope remained steady, consistent and proficient within those ranges and round-count. I inspected the scope mount after I finished shooting, and the mount was still tight and torqued to spec (I use blue loc-tite when mounting my optics to avoid them vibrating loose or being loosened due to other field events). Would I buy this again? Absolutely. In fact, considering this for my .300 BLK upper to free up the Bushnell on it for use on my next rifle.

Works good

It does not appear to be good quality. Very thin material. Also no battery came with the Lazer attachment and no documentation of what size the battery should be anywhere on scope or packaging.

Everything perfect but lesser didn’t work

This is not actually a branded cvlife scope, you get a no name box and no name scope that claims to have a “lifetime warranty” with no company to get ahold of to use said warranty. It also did not include the 11mm adapter, nor the batteries. Aside from that, I was able to pick up a weaver rail from cabelas and mount this on a Remington 597 without issue. I have yet to shoot through it, but it looks very clear and fits level. The zoom is certainly not actually a 10x magnification either, more like 6x. All of this aside it seems like an okay entry level scope, the drop and windage seem to work, for now. Won’t know for sure until I shoot at the range though. 6/10.

Awesome unit
