Duration: 4:47

This review of CVLIFE optics, specifically the 6-24x50 hunting rifle scope and a red dot sight, highlights their performance for the price. While the hunting scope holds zero well and is suitable for holdover techniques, it fails a tracking test. The red dot scope demonstrates minimal parallax error at 25 yards, making it a good budget option for its intended use.

Quick Summary

The CVLIFE 6-24x50 hunting scope holds zero well after jostling but fails tracking tests, making it suitable for holdover techniques. The CVLIFE red dot scope offers good value with minimal parallax error at 25 yards, exceeding expectations for its price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the CVLIFE 6-24x50 hunting scope hold zero?

Yes, the CVLIFE 6-24x50 hunting scope demonstrated good zero retention after being subjected to jostling, simulating transport conditions. This indicates it can maintain its point of impact under normal handling.

What is the main weakness of the CVLIFE 6-24x50 hunting scope?

The primary weakness identified is its tracking performance. After adjusting the elevation turret three full revolutions up and then back down, the scope did not return to its original zero, shooting several inches high.

Is the CVLIFE red dot scope good for its price?

Yes, the CVLIFE red dot scope is considered good for its price point. It showed minimal parallax error at 25 yards, with impacts shifting only about half an inch when the shooter's cheek position changed.

How should one use the CVLIFE 6-24x50 hunting scope if it doesn't track well?

If the CVLIFE 6-24x50 hunting scope does not track accurately, it is recommended to use holdover techniques for aiming at different distances rather than relying on dialing the turrets for adjustments.
