Overview
Eotech's Vudu 3-9x32 SFP riflescope ships as a kit with an integrated mount and an EFLX mini reflex sight, pairing a compact magnified optic with a fast close-range backup on one rifle.
At 6.8 inches this is one of the shorter 3-9x scopes on the market, useful on shorter-barreled rifles where a standard-length scope crowds the mount. Because it is second focal plane, the HC1 MOA reticle's holdover marks are only true at 9x, so ranging at lower magnification takes some getting used to. The bundled EFLX gives a rapid-target option without swapping optics.
- Second focal plane HC1 reticle in MOA
- 6.8 inch aircraft-aluminum housing, fog/water/shock resistant
- Capped 1/4 MOA turrets, 10-brightness illumination
- Kit includes integrated mount and EFLX reflex sight
Who it's for
Hunters and shooters who want one compact optic that covers both close, fast shots and mid-range precision without changing scopes. Less suited to shooters who need a first focal plane reticle for holdover math at any zoom level.
