Known primarily for its holographic sights, EoTech jumped into the variable-powered riflescope market in 2017 with its Vudu lineup. The company has continued to add to the Vudu family, including last year’s super short Vudu 3-9×32 mm. New for 2026, the company is introducing another super short, variable-power scope with the Vudu 4-12×36 mm riflescope.
The biggest difference between the Vudu 3-9X and the new 4-12X is that the latter is a first-focal-plane (FFP) design. This means that the reticle changes in size as the scope is zoomed, resulting in its subtensions being accurate, no matter the magnification. The Vudu 4-12X is about a quarter of an inch longer (7.1 inches overall), one ounce heavier (16.9 ounces), and $100 more expensive (MSRP $1,219) than the 3-9X version.
Many of the Vudu 4-12X features mirror that of last year’s 3-9X version. These include XC high density, low dispersion multi-coated glass, an adjustable diopter, a power band zoom adjustment ring and capped turrets that cover dials (0.1 MRAD adjustments) that can be zeroed. With no room for conventional rings, the scope has an integrated base that comes supplied with a mount and is also compatible with most mini-ACOG mounts.
The Vudu 4-12X is available with either EOTech’s MR5 or MD5 MRAD illuminated reticles that have 10 brightness settings and is powered by a single CR2032 battery. It is also available with a ring mount for fitting a non-magnified micro red dot sight that can be positioned at 12 o’clock or at a 45-degree offset. The scope with the company’s EFLX mounted is available as a package with an MSRP of $1,589.
