CVLIFEBearPower FFP Scope - First Focal Plane Scope with MOA Illuminated Reticle, Zero Stop, Zero Reset, Parallax Adjustment - 30mm Tube with Scope Rings

I bought several CVLIFE scopes as gifts. I will review after Christmas but don’t expect any problems. Thank you CVLife.

I'll start this off with: I purchased this as my first FFP scope, but unsure of the quality, this was planned for installation on a .177 cal air rifle which is not yet shooting out past 75 yards.Having an old scope on my air rifle and pushing distance with it now, I was looking for specifically a scope with FFP and resettable turrets with zero stop. Keeping in mind I'll be shooting probably within 100 yards I wasn't too concerned about glass quality; as long as it was "good enough" it should get the job done. So far, possibly due to the fact that the old scope was so old, I'm quite impressed.Initial impressions: the scope did come in a standard retail box, not blank like I've seen several reviewers show on Youtube. The box basically contains everything you need if you have a weaver rail. My airgun has a dovetail so I had ordered appropriate rings at the time; there was a set on Amazon that contained medium and high rings in 1 package. In case the mediums were too low, I could use the high set; the mediums barely let the endbell clear my barrel. The eyebox (I suppose that's what it is called, the viewable area seen by your eye) is much larger than on my old BSA Stealth Tactical scope. With that you see more of your target at similar magnification levels. The reticle is quite nice; compared to the old, thick, mil-dot reticle; I like MOA as it makes sense to me for measurement and the reticle in this scope is thin while still being easy to read. I'm not sure I really care about illumination at this point until I do any twilight ratting. I am looking forward to seeing through this glass at the range however I have yet to shoot with this scope but felt that I should at least get some of this info out in a review.I will say that it's not lightweight by any means but I'm not concerned about that. The flip caps are nice and seem to work OK; the eyebell cap is a tad tight but that should work better with use. The zero stop and turrets in general are easy to work with, and the allen keys are included. The parallax is a tad tight as well as the zoom, but again I'm hoping those should work better with use over time.The only thing I noticed that was kind of off-putting was a scratch on the elevation turret right out of the box; not a deal breaker but you would think that if the product was brand new, it wouldn't have any scratches on it. Purely cosmetic and I'm sure with use there will be more scratches anyway.I'll be sure to update after the first range day to see how it performs, but at this time I'm really looking forward to it!

This thing is amazing for the price. Don’t knock the cheaper Chinese stuff until you try it. I was planning on grabbing a Arken until I stumbled across this one and figured ‘what the heck’ and tried it out. Very accurate and holds zero.

This scope has all the features I was looking for. I especially like that the illuminated reticle isn’t so bright that is “washes out” the view.Mounted on Ruger American in 243. Zeroed easily and seems to be holding zero.Only time will tell how it holds up.So far I’m very happy and it’s a good value.

The knob that turns the light for different brightness will not turn.

Great scope for the price…illumination knob was extremely tight and near impossible to move…at low magnification the crosshairs are very hard to see, especially in a hunting situation…Would probably do well for target/range/long range usage…Ended up returning it as it didn’t fit well with my hunting intentions…

This scope shoots 8 feet too high, cannot be lowered to correct height, complete waste of money. Definately will be returning this junk, absolutely NO WAY you could hunt w this scope when it shoots 3 feet off target at close range

I own several CVLife scopes and for the money they can’t be beat.
