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.

Had this scope mounted and in use since 2020. Laser quit working pretty soon but didnt really care. Rifle stays in a soft case and gets banged around. Its got scuffs and scraps from falling and such...still holds zero like a champ! Never missed a neck shot, atleast 10 deer over the years. Can still hit a ping pong ball at 100 yards no questions. Cvlife bi pod holding well too. List a screw, thats it.

I bought this scope with low expectation given its price ($50), but thought it might do the job (to some degree at least) for using on 9mm carbine for CQB training but it was worse than I expected. Here is my take on it: Firstly, the turrets are supposed to be 1/4 MOA per click, mine was 1 MOA per click which made accuracy/adjustment very difficult, but to be fair the reticle did look good :) Secondly, I question the magnification on the scope, at 10x it was no better than a 6x on my other scopes. Thirdly, once you adjusted the focus (using reticles as your guide) you end up losing focus on the target and you will have to readjust the focus to find a happy median between the two. Fourthly, the illumination (red on mine) tends to reflect off the inside walls of the tube beyond the 3rd level, thus creating the feel you are the red light district in Amsterdam. Fifth, the laser is a joke, you don't get a clear conscious dot but a red crescent instead. Lastly, built quality is ok at best but given the above issues quality becomes irrelevant. The only good aspect is that the scope would make a good looking accessory (useless nonetheless) on carbines or ARs and that's why it secured a 1 star rating, only due to its looks. This product is a clear example of the saying ''you pay peanuts, you get monkeys'' I have read reviews on the CVLIFE that describe it as a great little economy scope and works tremendously well, my guess is those who arrived at such conclusion never used a scope before ;) My advice is save your money and get a real scope.
