EOTECH has been a leader in tactical and commercial optics since it opened its doors. One of my favorites in their lineup has always been the Vudu series. It is a bomb proof optic with exceptional glass. Today, EOTECH has announced a new version. New Super Short 4-12×36 Vudu Scope.
Super Short 4-12×36 Vudu Scope – New From EOTECH
EOTECH is now adding to its family of super short optics, with the release of the Vudu 4-12×36 First Focal Plane rifle scope. The 4-12x shares similarities to EOTECH’s wildly popular 3-9×32 launched in 2025, but its first focal plane design gears this optic to the more tactical or professional user.

The 4-12x’s overall length is only 7.1″, making this optic ideal on even the shortest rifle or AR-pistol designs. The scope body is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum to be a compact, lightweight, but still incredibly durable package that is fog, water, and shock resistant. Its 36mm objective lens allows for excellent light transmission, even in low-light, dusk, and dawn conditions.
Wide Power Band
A wide power band on the eyepiece makes transitioning from low to high magnification quick and easy, and a substantial boss feature on the power ring makes it even faster. An adjustable diopter allows for precise focus for the individual’s vision.
The scope’s turrets offer .1 MRAD adjustments and are both capped to protect from inclement weather or inadvertent adjustments. And, once the scope is zeroed, the turrets can quickly be reset to zero.

A rotary dial located on the left side of the optic provides an illuminated reticle with 10 brightness settings to help in dusk and dawn lighting conditions. A CR2032 is located next to the rotary dial, providing roughly 300 hours of operation. The 4-12x sports the same XC high-density, low-dispersion multi-coated glass as its predecessors for excellent light transmission and scene clarity.
Mounting Interface
But what makes the 4-12x stand out from other magnified optics is its mounting interface. To minimize the overall length, EOTECH reduced the tube area typically used for mounting rings. Instead, a machined interface located at the bottom of the scope will adapt to the included EOTECH mount, or any aftermarket mini-ACOG mounts, and mount directly on a mil-standard rail. This provides a 1.53″ height above more, clearing most rear iron sights.

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 maintain their size relative to the target image. For those wanting a non-magnified solution, EOTECH offers an optional ring mount that can be attached to the slim, front tube section to mount an EFLX or other compatible micro sights. It can be positioned at the 12 o’clock position or at 45-degree offsets to give you immediate transitions for close or moving targets.
Super Short 4-12×36 Vudu Scope
In the tactical world, size and weight are major factors in equipment decisions. The super short 4-12x is small in size, lightweight, packed with features, and ideal for any shooting situation.
