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

For the price this scope is amazing, great fit on my rifle ... did a bore sight and was able to hit in a 2 inch grouping

The scope is nice and at a very good price. I would buy it again.

Nice scope for the price.. Have it on my coyote AR and it serves the purpose fine..

I’ve had this scope on a couple of different .223/5.56 rifles and I have nothing to complain about. It took a little time to figure out how to adjust it correctly; but the focus has been solid, the clarity is good, and it’s held zero in my experience. It’s a good size for an AR-style rifle and I appreciate the design with the red/green illumination. Are there better scopes out there? Sure. You get your bang for the buck with this one though.

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 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.

Works great. I use it for a dmr role in airsoft but the laser is great for close range too. All around it is an excellent scope and fits well on a picatinny rail. Although I had to get a raiser for it as I couldn’t see through it with an helmet on. Also it wasn’t as expensive as other options.

After having used this scope twice at outdoor range and then because of zeroing issues, a few DOZWN times at my shorter in home private 10yd range; on an AR 15 w cmmg 22lr adapter (far less force than 556). I found it was actuslly impossible to adjust the elevation AND windage to zero. And in said attempt, using my fingers only to adjust the turrets, BOTH LITERALLY UNTHREADED FROM THE BODY OF THE SCOPE. So I was like f it, I broke it. So I set about completely disassembling the front end from the unit. Firmly grasping the large front tube and turning lefty loosey direction, I was literally able to remove the front half. Which allowed me to look inside the center section where the turrets adjust the zero. I discovered that the reticle optic was actually stuck off center down and to the right when viewed with the laser at right looking from the barrel end of the unit. As opposed to the normal butt end shooting position. At which point I realized that apparently the spring clips for lack of a better term that keep the cross airs on center head. Somehow moved within the housing itself, thus, making it impossible to ever zero the scope. When well, I'm not done investigating the totality of the issue. The fact that my inability to 0 the scope led to actually unscrewing the elevation and windage adjustment knobs themselves accidentally Suggest that whatever brackets are holding that crosshair centered. Cannot handle the concussions of 556 or 223 ammo. Because that's the ammo I used at the range that caused such frustration that I brought it back to my place to try and use twenty two grounds at a shorter distance to zero it in. And I will add that this happened on just one of these specific scopes because I purchased two of them roughly six months apart and both of them demonstrated the same failure to 0 problem after shooting 5562 2:03 AM at the range. It was only after the second one demonstrated the same issues that I said, screw it. I'm gonna dissect this problem and dissect. The scope, which rendered the discovery that the brackets or clips that hold that cross hair section a center point, failed to stay in position. Do not purchase this particular model while it looks great. And is a nice concept. And may perhaps work with air rifles, my experience indicates that 223 and 556 a r fifteen ammo is entirely too much force for this scope to handle for any period of time. And while I don't have a photo or view of the issue at present, if it's possible, at some point to update this review, I will do so. Simply to add more credibility to this rating.. And it kind of sucks. Because, well frankly, it's really aggravating to have to deal with some type of what I consider.Manufacturing flaw, when, at least I believe the description indicates usability with a r fifteen m 0223 or 556.
