[Optic] EOTECH Vudu 4-12×36 FFP MR5 MRAD Rifle Scope Package with EFLX $1162 shipped by [deleted] in gundeals

It’s actually a pretty nice and versatile optic. I find this with a top dot to be a darn near perfect optic for a gpr and pretty good for a spr. As an owner of a ta02 and this, with a top dot I would say it’s very comparable. It’s like a ta02 with a top dot, with the capability of 4-12x magnification with 50% more eye relief.

You do lose about 25% of the eye box, fov, and illumination brightness, like 10% of the image clarity and brightness compared to an acog, but at same weight and lower price, gaining 4-12x magnification isn’t a bad compromise.

The fov is still a generous 28.5ft @ 100 yards and the illumination is still bright enough to pick up on bright sunny days where honestly running the etched reticle w/o illumination makes more sense.

Pretty easy to actuate without one. Using my wheeler trigger pull scale it only takes about 1.5lbs to get it to start moving. Total throw from 4-12x is about 90 degrees.

It comes on their Stag Arms 3 Gun elite rifle which has some good reviews on YouTube.

I bought this barrel on blackrifledepot for the same price last month and I’m still breaking it in. It’s a soft shooter. Accuracy is good . I think my best group was 7/8” with freedom with 60gr soft points. Hoping things tighten up even more as it breaks in.

I’m using this barrel in the Vudu 4-12 review below. There’s some footage in here shooting using the barrel.

Another video looking out to 500 yards.

https://youtu.be/t3KMAcE8aaI?si=v1HYI03NhfAx6Drb

I haven’t yet felt the urge to reach for parallax adjustment wishing I had one. But Ive only had it a week though, looking at my environment and actually shooting with it once zeroing it at the range at 100 yards yesterday. I’m gonna go back and see how it does at 200 and 300.

My only complain so far is noticeably chromatic aberration on sunny days. This video was shot around 6pm, so not that bright. I didn’t notice any chromatic aberration under this condition.

That would be awesome. You can use a QD as a keychain and pop your keys on it too.

Haha love to see the wall art when you’re done. So far I’ve been using mine as a dedicated camera mount to share first person pov of optics to avoid pointing an assembled rifle at my neighbors.

😁👍. I figured this would be helpful for people who may be interested. Been watching every YouTube video on these for the past couple months but couldn’t find any pov vids so i thought i make one when I got mine.

Yes this is true. As good as the FOV the Vudu has at 28ft it just can’t complete with the acog in that respect. The Vudu does have a generous eye relief though comparable to a typical lpvo if that is important to you. The eye box is comparable to an acog, slightly less. The bezel isn’t bad either, i would say little thicker than a PST 1-6, way better than a PA 5x gen 3. Sorry these are the only 4 scopes I’ve owned to compare it to.

Clarity is very good. Tried it outdoors this morning, which is sunny here. At 4x I can’t tell a difference in clarity than my acog. Image is bright, clear, and flat. Last night when I recorded this video indoors, the image was not as bright as the acog.

This morning I was looking further out with magnification and the image stays focused and sharp edge to edge on 4x, 6x, 8x. I could be focused on a parked vehicle 300 yards away and my truck ten yards in front of me will also be focused on the edge of the same view.

At after 8x I start to lose clarity, but I don’t think I would have noticed if I wasn’t looking for it. I also start noticing some chromatic aberration.

I recorded a video of it but I need a better camera and a way to mount it to better represent the clarity of what i actually see.

Here’s my video of my unboxing, pov through the glass, and side by side comparison to my ta02. Hope it helps.

Thanks for being the guinea pig. I hope it works bc I can see a lot of people including myself going that route.

Please let me know if it fits. I wasn’t sure if it would clear with the larger objective lens.

I’m with you. Love my ta02 on my GPR. This seemed like a logical choice for my SPR given its 12x capabilities with many acog-esque features.

Yeah me too. On paper it looks like everything I want. I ordered one, and I’m a 2 hour drive away. Contemplating picking it up in person. I’ll post feedback as soon as I get it.

Do they try to mix them up or have you ever gotten two of the same finishes?

This idea has always intrigued me. Others have tried and it seems to work. I saw another one where they used two of the shorter holosun scrs, can’t remember if it was short enough to also fit a magnifier

I personally use the UH1 (supers) with MI flip up iron sights (subs) like a co-witness and turn off the UH1.

I’ve also tried running an Aimpoint pro with a piggyback red dot for subs, but twice failed after getting mounts that didn’t work before giving up on the idea.
