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

Good optics
I have mounted and bore sighted it but have not validated accuracy. Not a good fit for 10/22 carbine due to the bulk. Will most likely put on my 308 and purchase another smaller one from this company.

Optics
It is nice, I have 3 of them now.

Missed it by that much…
I would like to clarify this first. I haven’t used this aside from taking it out of the box to check it out. I haven’t been able to because the mounts that came with it don’t fit my carbine. I own a 995 hi point, which has weaver style rails. I called their customer support and got in touch with someone from the machining side of the company to check on that. The scope itself seems like a good product. The issue I have with it and at this point with the seller is that this product page advertises the mounts as weaver style. Granted, the mounts do have two different kind of lips you can clamp onto a rail, that isn’t why I can’t use it. The spacing of the pins on the mounts is what makes this unsuitable. I can fit one pin into a notch on my rail but the other one will be riding a ridge, and not by a few millimeters that I could file down, I mean by an entire ridge.Now if there are any other hi point owners out there, or people just well versed in the gun culture, then you already know there are some decent aftermarket accessories for them, like the picatinny rail I could buy. But I don’t want to spend another $50 just to be able to mount this, I would find that a little ridiculous, though that’s a personal opinion. Instead I thought, “No big deal, just contact the seller and tell them they got their mounts wrong.” Because, they did. My friend tried this same scope on his AR with his picatinny rails and it fit right into the notches with no problem. So I sent them a message through Amazon, it’s been at least two or three weeks at this point with no response, and Amazon asks that you allow 48 hours for a seller to respond.I’d love to say that I’ve used this scope and that it’s the best bang for your buck kind of item. But I’m not planning on spending $100 to be able to use a $50 optic. The mounts were wrong, the lens caps came with the front one halfway busted out, and the seller hasn’t responded to me even to to tell me if they can’t do anything about the mounts. It’s a bit disappointing. Though if you are someone who is looking at this item, and this review, and you have a picatinny set-up, it should work great for you.

I would look elsewhere if I were you…
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.

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.

Absolutely awful quality glass is cloudy and the caps are poorly screwed on with threading that doesnt match up.It seems like there’s dirt inside the optic.Avoid this product.
