What magnification is a CVLife scope true mil-dot scope at?

Generally, mildot scopes are correctly spaced at either 10x or the highest magnification if that is less than 10x.

It’s super easy to check though. One mildot is 1/1000 of the distance. So at 100m a mildot is 10cm. At 100 yards it’s 3.6”. Just measure out a known distance and make marks that are spaced 1/1000 of that distance on a piece of paper. Sight in on those marks and adjust your magnification until your mildots match your marks perfectly.
 
I measure all my subtensions at home (of scopes whose subtensions aren't advertised). I set up a yardstick from my gun room to the side of my bedroom mirror with a light on it and just do the calculations, and it's actually quite accurate. Could be done at the range too--just measure the target and range and do the math as Sawney wrote above. I also mark some of my SFP mil optics for the MOA magnification too.
