CVLIFE 3-9x40 Rifle Scope Review - Great or Garbage?

Veteran hunters often, if not always, recommend buying the best quality (highest priced) scope you can afford. Many inexpensive rifles shoot MOA, but if the scope atop them fails to hold zero or fogs or otherwise misbehaves, the rifle is little more than a club. So imagine my snort when I saw the CVLIFE 3-9x40mm rifle scope on Amazon for $29.99. Piece of plastic joke, right? Wrong.
