That old BSA - if it really shoots straight I'd love to try it out.

Yeah - that is one of the CV Life reviews I watched before I purchased mine which is a slightly different model to the one tested. Both Nick on the TbT channel and Jeff from HFT shooter seemed impressed with CV Life scopes for the price.   I did contact CV Life and they are quite happy for me to put mine on my .30 Hatsan and said that if I had any issues they would honor their warranty.   So far I have only used mine on my .22 Gamo.

I agree regarding using the night vison as a spotter scope - have to use my left eye.  I have found I cannot get the diopter adjustment clear enough without waring my glasses but my scopes are adjusted for not waring glasses which is an additional issue.  Also not impressed with the charging port and micro SD card slot being exposed.  I have contacted the manufacturer to ask about  using it on a springer.   I would like to put it on my Gamo for pest control out to about 25 meters and use the CV Life for targets.   I am impressed with the clarity - particularly in low light conditions.

I also agree with the gamo pellets - they are the same a one of the tins I got with my gun.  They are very inconsistent in weight and size.  Some fit smoothly into the gun and others have to be forced into it.  I have never been able to get a consistent group with them.    Really only good for for melting down and turning into fishing sinkers!

Not sure what its worth Pete. If its the one i think it is, it came from either his grandad or his friends grandad.
Member of a different site who put the pic up when he got it and it caught my interest strait away.

-Ec good move with the night vision, checking first. Could you grab a usb cover and micro sd cover off some other thing. They are a pretty standard size.
Glasses on a string around your neck so you can just flick them off and let them hang there?
Once ya got it set up, get those gamo pellets and line em up and shoot em down. Might as well get some shooting pratice with them lol.(im quite bummed out i didn't think of that before i threw all my crap pellets away,or shot them through the air chief barrel bolted to a post.)

This might be worth a look ...


$400 for a 10 shot .22 break-barrel - no scope.

BTW the manufacture recommended NOT putting my night vision scope on the Hatsan!

The fact with lead in .22 they say it drops to 800fps makes it more appealing. Bsa barrels are supposed to be good, it is a definitely in the look into more catagory.

Bummer about the scope.
Got a .22lr?
Or maybe its just a case of getting the rifle and nv out during the day and devolping the technique thats gonna work best.
Then practicing for a bit so you've got some sort flow for the field.
Familiarity and muscle memory are going to be your best for rapid transition in the field.
I had a hell of a lot fun just going out at night and watching where critters went. There's a little link in "you got to be out there to see"
To a video i called susaside bunny. Still amuses me. Wasn't shooting at time.
Did swap it for a chrono in end mind, figuring it was more useful than a scope I couldn't put on rifle at the end of day.
But well worth having for the observation of animal behavior when you approach with in dark as opposed to using torch. They are fun.

I am tempted to sell my gamo 22 and replace it with one of these.  Yeah, think the night vison will end up for spotting/observation.  Should be fun during next years roar.  Below is a picture from my deck during this year's.   These are wild stags - while the farm next door was once a deer farm (hence the deer fence) it is now part of an organic dairy farm.
