First Look: EOTECH 4-12×36 Vudu Super Short Scope
Want a little scope with big capabilities? EOTECH has just expanded its super short riflescope line with the 4-12×36 Vudu.
Who says small guns can’t have awesome magnified optics? EOTECH brought a lot to the table last year with its Vudu 3-9×32 SFP, and now the company is expanding its line of super short scopes with the 4-12×36 Vudu.
The new 4-12×36 Vudu has a lot in common with its predecessor, but now features an FFP (first focal plane) reticle, greater magnification and a slightly larger objective lens. While it is a bit bigger, it’s still an incredibly compact optic with a total length of just 7.1 inches. Of course, it’s built tough, too, while the aluminum construction helps keep it lightweight at just 16.9 ounces.
Other features of the 4-12×36 Vudu are its illuminated reticle (10 settings), its wide power band on the eyepiece for rapid magnification adjustment and its adjustable diopter for precise focus control. The capped turrets offer .1-MRAD adjustments, and its mounting solution allows for directly attaching the scope to Picatinny rail using either the included EOTECH mount or an aftermarket mini-ACOG mount. Compatible micro red dots can also be attached to the Vudu itself, either at 12 o’clock or at a 45-degree offset.
EOTECH said this about the Vudu’s FFP reticle:
The first focal plane is preferred by more tactical users because the design allows quick range estimation and trajectory compensation at any magnification. In this design, the reticle and its sub-tensions, maintains its size relative to the target image.
MSRP for the 4-12×36 Vudu is $1,220 and it will begin shipping in Q1 of this year.
