My experience with CVLife has been nothing but positive. Their slings are super impressive; the elastic is strong enough to hold a 12-pound rifle without stretching when at rest, yet stretch enough to allow you to properly shoulder it. Their scopes are functional with passable glass (though UTG is better). A friend of mine bagged a deer with a Mossberg Patriot in .30-06 sporting a CVLife 4-16x44 scope.

Thanks for an honest review. I'm 70 y/o I've never had an expensive scope on many different rifles and shotguns. I've never had a scope problem .22 - .50 cal. I have a Daisy BB gun scope on a .50 cal. Muzzleloader. It's held up fine for 22 years. Deer hunting @ 150 to 350 on varmints .

I bought one of these under a different name, and put it on my 22. It’s fine, no issues. It’s clear, and easy to use. I am not bought and paid for. I just needed optics for my new 22, and this fills the bill just fine. Don’t know if I’d use it on a high power rifle though.

This was a great video. It's not just the review of the cheap scope. It's all of the information about testing it. I particularly liked the eye relief test. Granted, I do not have your experience. Even so, I learned a lot watching it. I'm not sure I could soak a brand new scope in water.

Probably the most professional evaluation I've ever watched. Great job Ron. I have owned several CV life Scopes and I am always amazed at what they will do! I haven't had a bad one yet. Great test, great shooting!!!

Thanks Ron, for taking the time to review such a "cheap" scope. I mean why not see if a bargain is really a bargain? After seeing the results from the series of tests you put this scope through my confidence is sky high that I can put this on my walking varminter and save some serious coin. Cheers!

I bought this scope for my son to use on his 22 this past Christmas. No issues at all. Based on our experience with it, I bought an 1-6 LPVO scope from Country Value Life (CVLife) also to put on a AR15. No issues with it. Has been rock solid. Based on my experience with these low cost Chinese scopes, I picked up a 4-12 scope for my 350 Legend. This was some some company called Edenberg. That scope works perfectly fine too. Works just as well as my 4-16 Vortex Diamondback HD scope.

I got a CV Life bipod for a Ruger American predator in 223 (coyote gun) for $18 and its been a jem!! 4 years running and several hundred rounds, not 1 issue yet. Cheap isn't ALWAYS bad. Like you said do your homework and sometimes it pays to take a chance 👍

Most of the cheap scopes don't hold up well on spring break air guns. The forward and back action knocks the guts out of the scope. Even higher end scopes won't handle that type of recoil.

Total agreement here... I'm in the (sadly and pitifully...) unarmed UK and have been looking for a cheap/affordable scope for my Weirauch HW77 (only 11.4 lb/ft because stupid gun laws, and 12 lb/ft or greater = 5years jail time...) and have destroyed (ie will not hold zero, sometimes can hear pieces jingling-around inside, etc) several "affordable" (under £80/$95) scopes in less than 50 pellets each, so I'd be interested to see if one of these can take the punishment of a springer or not? I modified a Magpul AR15 Backup Iron-Sight to create an aperture rear-sight that works with the standard Weirauch front-sight that I use for plinking, squirrels and other small vermin out to around 50 yards pretty effectively, but I turned 50 last year and my eyes would appreciate a bit of magnification (but only if it'll hold zero...), so I might see how much I can get one of these shipped to the UK for, and I'll report-back here how it holds-up IF it doesn't cost a stupid amount with the shipping...?

I'm running one on a 300 blk. And consistently can hit 6 inch steel at 200 yrds.

I still have an old cheap Simmons scope I used on a .22 mag as a kid never an issue long story short I had to swap it out on a 30-06 in the field. I ended up keeping it on there for a few years with a lot of rounds down range and in the field. I finally put it back on the old .22mag and it still holds zero to this day. I always thought that I just got lucky and happened to get a good one. At that price try a few more and see how they hold up. Excellent presentation as always.

Great job Ron. The way a test should be done.

In 1987 I bought a new Winchester model 70 light weight . I than put a $29.95 Tasco scope on it 3×9×40mm. It's still on that rifle today and I've used it every year for deer hunting and have never had to touch it.

I bought 2 different $30 scopes from the same website about a month ago. I searched specifically for 22 rimfire rifle scopes. I narrowed the search to +4 ratings & less than $30. I bought the two that had the most reviews. I zeroed them. My dad & I shot about 200 rounds thru each & they've held that zero the whole time.

Great review, Ron, thanks! It works!!!

In 1970 my stepfather gifted me with a little 4 x 28 Montgomery Ward scope for my Mossberg 152. I had it on that rifle until a couple of years ago when I swapped it out for a little brighter scope due to my old eyes not being quite as sharp. All of that time I rarely ever had to adjust it. It didn't have claims of waterproof or shockproof and more than once it fogged up on me to the point that I couldn't see through it. That combination of Mossberg and Montgomery Ward brought home a lot of squirrel, rabbit and grouse dinners.

I recently bought 2 new BARRA 1100z .22cal air rifles($225 ea.) for my backyard 50-yard range setup. I needed 2 rifle scopes, as the rifles come without any sights, but do have the 20mm picatinny rail on top. So I bought 2 of these CV Life scopes, simply based on pricepoint. I am very impressed with them, and now I stumbled across this video that makes me feel even better. These are the first scopes I've ever owned, and I didnt realize that the reticule had a focus adjustment. 🤷‍♂So I'm glad I found this video. Thanks. Also, I needed the raised scope mounts, because the rifle's 10 shot magazine needed the clearance in order to function properly. I highly recommend. With 38 grain slugs(60+FPE), I can easily dispatch ground hogs at 50 yards.

Great and thorough review. Thanks Ron. I bought a higher rez 6 -24 x 50 for a 6.5CM but haven't got it to the range yet. This instilled some confidence, though.

Excellent demonstration of evaluating a scope.

FLIPPIN WOW. THANKS RON

I just reviewed their 4X 16 by 52 and it was outstanding.

So good to meet you and the Mrs at the Shotshow!

Ron, for many, many years I used the inexpensive Tasco scopes and was always extremely pleased with them. I very seldom spent more than $35 for one of them and I used them on my .22, .243, and 50 cal Black powder. I was always impressed with the clarity of the scope picture and again, I wasn't going to thread any needles with it, but on my .243 and Black Powder I was getting 1.5 inch groups at 100 yards. I finally had one that the reticles fell down after many years of use and using 150 grains of BP. So I went and bought my first "quality" scope and I bought the cheapest NIkon they had for $150. But I still love the Tasco scopes that I still have.

Thank you for your detailed and professional review. I installed a Bushnell Banner 3-9x40 scope on a Sako 85 Bavarian 30-06. It is cheaper than the rings, but it works well at the range.

I have two of these scopes one on a cheap bca 223 Wylde upper and one on my daughters 22lr Crickett. Never had a single problem with either of them and they both have a few thousand rounds through them. Best scope for beginner builds and rookie shooters in my opinion. Cheap enough to replace if broken and accurate enough to have a blast!

You did an exceptional job of photographing the scope from the eye's view. Nice to see you using a Canon DSLR in such a precise manner. You just don't see that on decent KZread videos. Nice production and I learned more things about scopes. Thank you.

I have 4 of them , My first one was a CVLIFE Hunting Rifle Scope 6-24x50 AOE, All on break barrel air rifles.

Thanks for this presentation, Ron. I purchased 2 of these scopes for use on my springer .177 pell rifles as recommended by another reliable channel. Their performance has been excellent in spite of brutal double recoil that is common to springer air rifles. Your confirmation of quality for a low priced scope brings me confidence in the quality of these optics.

Thanks for taking the time to figure out for as enjoy watching your videos thanks again

I was a young person without a lot of money once and the first scope I ever purchased was around $30. It worked fine at the range and I was able to zero it in, but every time it sat for a few months it lost zero.

Great review Ron. CVLIFE sent me the 4x16x50 FFP to review and i was surprised. I put it on my dad's. 223 Remington for the new Ruger Gen 2. Easy to adjust and pleasantly surprised. Awesome review sir.

One sure test is surprisingly on a spring powered airgun . they bounce back and forwards several times unlike a firearm that only goes onec back. It's surprising how many people complain about this and so it's a great test of build quality. Very interesting set of tests great information 👍🇬🇧🇺🇲

Enjoyed learning the simple way to measure eye relief. Surprisingly, my Bushnell Banner scope has greater eye relief than my more expensive Leupold and Nikon scopes.

Great Review! It is neat to see inexpensive work well.

I bought one for my .450 AR to hunt at my lake cabin. Mostly just to see if worked and it's a great little scope. Very impressed.

I just bought 4 of these scopes after this review. They were delivered today and seem really well made.

One of best air rifle scope values out there. They also have an adjustable objective 3-9x40 for around 10 bucks more.

Excellent video. Comprehensive.

Thanks for your review,,,,

Pretty comprehensive testing and you seem impressed by the price, fantastic. I don't have that particular brand, but I do have three similar priced or slightly more expensive 3-9 x40 scopes which have served me very well for my purpose/use, although they have never been mounted on anything bigger than a 223 bolt action rifle, Thank you.

I got the $40 compact version that is shorter and lighter and put it on a light 22lr and it has a big eye relief and u can see good.i have never been able to use a fancy $500+ scope so its good enough for me to shoot 22 at cans

I have 2 of the AO adjustable versions of that scope ($40) on pcp air rifles and they are amazing for the money... They're not quite as clear as my hawke, but for 1/5th price they are plenty clear enough... Hole on hole at any airgun range is the norm. Anyway, awesome, awesome review! Maybe the best scope review I've ever seen. Truly appreciate it! Thanks.

I bought a $25 Tasco 3-9x40 and put it on my sons 12ga mossberg pump and he out shot 3 scopes that were $250 and up and he was shooting a smooth bore and the others were rifles shotguns, that was over 10yds ago he still hunts with it and is still deadly out to 150yds

Hi Ron and thank you for this video. That was a pretty good test and the scope help amazingly well. For the price, you can't beat it. I think this scope would be perfect for a young shooters first .22 rifle considering that they might not be as careful in handling, as a more experiecned shooter might be. If it gets damaged from an accidental drop or bump into a tree while you're walking through the woods, it's not a huge loss. I was really impressed with the water proof test. I thought, if there was going to be a fail, anywhere, it would have failed the water proof test. But, obvoiusly, that didn't happen. So, anyway, thank you, again, for the video and the opportunity to (proxy) test out an inexpensive, but not cheap, scope for ourselves. I think a "cheap" scope would have failed most, if not all, of your tests. JMHO Sincerely, Rich Williams Astor, Florida 32102 USA!

Great video as always thanks Ron! I learned a lot. It's worth it for light work or an occasional hunter. Good beginner scope too!

Thanks Ron.
