Guys, I scored this from being an Amazon reviewer and essentially got it for around 60 bucks. I was saving up for an Arken EPL4 4x16-44. I found this and requested the product for review and noticed the stats are nearly identical! What do you guys think? Score, or scrap?

I would not get either of those mentioned. They are no name cheapo brands. Stick to a reputable brand.

I don’t know anything about the cvlife brand much, but I have heard amazing things about Arken. Backfire on YouTube talked about how much he liked them when he tested it among other brands

Those people that rave about them on YouTube are incentivized to do so. Take it with a grain of salt.

No serious shooter would use either brand you’ve mentioned. Take advice from people who actually shoot their stuff. Not shills on YouTube.

It’s a fine deal for $60, it’s probably a fine sight but glass won’t be as crisp and reliability is more iffy. Ultimately if you can see good and it holds zero, it’s a score. If it fails in either respect than not so much. A cheap brand has a higher likelihood of being a dud but doesn’t mean it can’t be serviceable.

Holding zero is most crucial for sure. If it holds zero for a month and has a lifetime replacement warranty, that doesn’t do you any good. You’ll spend more time shipping it for a replacement and waiting on a replacement than it spends on your rifle. Oh and you’ll have to rezero it every time. Hard pass.

No real disagreement from me but $60 is take a shot money since he already has it. For $229 no way, but if it won’t hold zero put it on a 22 or something.

OP, specs are the easy part. Glass quality and construction are way more difficult. CVLife is a pretty big Chinesium manufacturer. For $60 you might get lucky.

I bought a giant CV life scope years ago to slap on my 22 for a joke. Scope as big as the rifle type of thing. It worked way better than I thought. I tried it on an AR, and although I didn't put many rounds through it, it held up fine. Now I just use it as a spotting scope.
 
Buy once cry once is usually right on optic quality. I purchased a Monstrum Panzer 1-10 LPVO not long ago after watching some reviews comparing it to the razer and was impressed. And then after about 100rds on a flat range with my piston rifle the optic literally rattled itself apart. The reticle inside became canted and the rear optic lens unthreaded itself.

At least a more balanced view lol. I do plan to update you guys on how it does. For the price it was impossible to pass up, especially a FFP with ZeroStop and etched glass. Chinese products always scare me, but if it turns out, I’m for sure gonna give you guys an update. I’m putting it on a 308 ruger American gen2. Using a single piece DNZ scope mount and shooting ELD Match bullets through it, so if accuracy is an issue, I’m gonna make sure it’s the scopes fault and nothing else
