I'm trying to finally nail down a scope in the 100$ range for a Hatsan Flashpup 25 QE. I'm very new to the community but have been researching best I can.
I prefer a shorter tactical type and think I found a couple to my needs:
1. CVLIFE 2-10x32 MPVO AO, $93
2. Sniper MT3-12x33MAOL Compact, $109
Both very similar in most ways including the reviews. Paralax adjustment, compact, similar specs...
I was hoping I could get some help in actually pulling the trigger on one. I haven't even ordered the right yet. I'm still a little flip flop on my decision.

Thanks much...
 
Have several different CVlife they are decent scopes for the price.
I have a couple Spina 2.5-10x32 LVPO that are quite good. $68 +shipping on Alibaba

Dont know the CVLife LVPO scopes but the CVLife BearSwift and BearPower may be the best bang for the buck X50 and X56 FFP scopes on the market. Near as I can tell as good of optics as my Leupold.

5-25x50 Bearpower $98 + shipping.
5-25x56 Bearswift $115 + shipping

Hello, from my experience I've had both those scopes before and out of the two, the CVLife is the more solid choice. I would like to add another choice if you are open, Axeon! They are so good for the money. AXEON 4-16x44 EDR compact, side parallax and just a crisp clear image while hunting. I have had nothing but the best experience with this scope on my .22 Caliber Ataman M2R type 4. But if I had to choose between just these two you posted CVLIFE is a great choice too, but check out Axeon Optics.

Thank you for the reply. I was trying to take a look at the Axeon you suggested but couldn't find the compact version anywhere. There are a few retailers including Amazon that carry the brand but no luck with the compact.
Would you happen to know where it's available?
Thank you...
 
The only inexpensive riflescope from a manufacturer with a "no questions asked" warranty I know of are Hawke Vantage. I have a 2-7 AO mil dot on my Prod and I like it. I have not had to use the warranty but I did recently on an Athlon and they quickly replaced the scope, no questions asked. I looked for an Athlon at least close to $100 and didn't find anything. Their Neos line is close in price but does not have AO which I think is important.

I dont normally like to give suggestions on things I dont have any direct experience with but Midway has a one time clearance deal on these older Bushnell Prime scopes that arent a bad deal. I would really urge you to get something from an established company with a good warranty reputation. These shadow overseas companies seen on amazon and temu have come and gone many times over the years. And I wouldnt expect to get any customer service down the road from them. Hawke, Athlon, Arken, Vortex, etc have great reputations and are all budget companies. Also get something that has an Adjustable Parallax down to at least 10yds.


You can also get a Hawke scope with great warranty for around $100, sometimes less.

I’ve had one of these for years, I use it as a backup scope. Whenever I get it out, I’m surprised at how good it is for the money.
