EOTECH introduces the new Vudu 4-12×36 rifle scope. At only 7.1 inches long, this scope is ideal for short rifle systems with limited rails or to combine with clip-on night-vision or thermal optics.
Unlike the Vudu 3-9 predecessor, the 4-12 incorporates a first-focal plane design.
Vudu 4-12×36: Why First Focal Plane Matters
In FFP scopes, the reticle is positioned at the front of the scope’s optical system causing the reticle to appear to grow or shrink with the magnification. This means that the subtensions of the reticle remain proportional to the target image, regardless of the magnification setting. This is preferred by professional users for long-range shooting and situations where quick adjustments or range estimation is needed.
Rugged Construction
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. The wide power band on the eyepiece makes transitioning from low to high magnification quick and easy and the substantial boss feature makes it even faster. The adjustable diopter located at the rear of the optic allows for precise focus for each individual’s vision.

Illumination & Optical Clarity
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. Between each brightness setting is an OFF position making it quick and easy to dial to your favorite setting. A CR2032 battery is located next to the rotary dial providing roughly 300 hours of operation. The 4-12 sports the same XC high density, low dispersion multi-coated glass as other Vudu optics providing excellent light transmission and scene clarity.
Mounting System & Turret Design
The scope’s turrets offer one-tenth MIL adjustments and are both capped to protect from inclement weather or inadvertent adjustments. 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.
