OK everyone, here's the deal - it's the CV Life 4.5-14x50 Eagle Feather F02 version.

I don't know why that model is so inexpensive right now, but if you use code SV20 you'll get it for around $27. I bought 4, the bill came to $107 shipped and that included shipping protection.
If you only buy 1 you'll probably pay shipping. I would just get 2 I suppose, rather than pay shipping on 1...
Also, I don't know if they're coming from inside the US or not. Could be a long wait.

They are 10 yard side focus scopes with mil dot reticles (nicely proportioned) and good glass. I actually preferred using a 4-16x44 Eagle Feather yesterday vs an Athlon Neos 4-12 and a Nikon EFR. very surprised to say that. But it was easier to get behind than either of the others, the glass was fine, etc. it was mounted right where I like it to be also, which never hurts.

I waloon the CV Life website looking for another 4-16x44 Eagle Feather because the one I have is doing a real nice job on my 97k. Found the 4.5-14's and had to change my mind.
These 4.5-14's look identical on the outside - same turrets, mag ring, side focus/illumination setup. But obviously they have a 3X range instead of a 4X. The 4-16's would be $80 each after the discount. Or I could buy 3 of the 4.5-14's. Easy call for me.

I have 3 or 4 inexpensive CV Life scopes on mid-powered springers and they have all held up fine so far, at least on mid-powered stuff. I wouldn't put one on a D54 or any of the better Hatsans for example. It seems they were built for use on ARs, which also have reciprocating recoil, so I'm guessing that they're reinforced accordingly.

The 4-16 was going to be a 'just for now' scope, but it has become an 'I like it right where it is' scope. One of my 4 is going on a tuned HW35.

Sweet setup my friend!
 
Thank you.

I pushed the scope forward mote than I needed to, because I felt like stock crawling while I was at the bench. No problems loading though.
I had originally mounted it further back where it did not overlap the loading port. It was fine that way too.


Also, got an email overnight and it looks like the scopes are coming from an Amazon distribution center.
 
I have only tried One C-CV Life scope. I believe it is a 4x12 that I bought when I got My Crossman Shockwave. The clarity is poor and the More you Zoom the worse it gets! lol How is the Clarity on this Model?
 
Quite good, at least on the "up scale" Eagle Feather line I used yesterday.
Dim and dreary day, had nice sharp views of my target at 25, and I could see single holes made by domed .177 pellets that were more or less filled back in by the cardboard backer. Those could even be tricky to see when I was standing in front of the target later. I also had no trouble seeing things well at 100, which is in deep shadow at my range except in the mornings (and I was there late).

I went looking for another because I really enjoyed using it, and hoped to get a Memorial Day sale on the 4-16. I'm starting to think that CVL has a strategy to sell $100 scopes for $50 with just very basic warranties, without much advertising and warranty (& shipping!) costs as their business model. The risk is then on the consumer. In this case, they may be discontinuing the 4,5-14 in favor of the 4-16, which would explain the 3:1 price difference.

They also have some stuff in the 300 to 400+ range now. No idea if that's just to have a presence in that price range or if they are actually that much better than the stuff I buy....

I am hoping that the 4.5-14's are just as good, but I have 3 or 4 different inexpensive CVLs now and I'm pleased with all of them. They all get used on springers, but so far only the oldest one is likely to have over 500 shots under it. That one is a basic 3-9x40 front AO that has been on several springers over time, seen plenty of action and is doing fine. The others I bought in the last year or two, but I use them and so far so good.

No important fee, free shipping. The code actually popped up on the page for me to use, plus spin the wheel for signing up for that discount as well.
 
It was a Bait and Switch. I got this this morning.
