LEDE Vudu 3 9X32 3

Measuring a scant 6.8-inches long and weighing in at a lightweight 16 ounces, this second focal plane (SFP) optic showcases EOTech’s reputation for durability and optical clarity in a compact package; perfect for AR platforms, lever-guns and any other firearm where you may want a small but highly effective variable-power optic. 

Vudu without red dot

Like every optic in EOTech’s Vudu line, the new 3-9x32mm is packed with high-end features like an aircraft-grade aluminum housing, XC high-density, low dispersion glass with anti-reflective coated lenses for optimal light transmission and edge-to-edge clarity and windage and elevation turrets with ¼-MOA adjustments. The Vudu 3-9x32mm also sports an integrated base that is also compatible with mini-ACOG mounts, and an illuminated HC1 reticle with the ability to switch between 10 brightness settings so you always have a clear and crisp view of your reticle, no matter the time of day or background. A single CR2032 battery powers the illuminated optic for up to 300 hours.

Vudu with red dot

For those shooters who appreciate having both a variable-powered optic as well as a non-magnified sight like a red-dot mounted on their rifle, a version of the Vudu 3-9x32mm is also being offered with a ring mount and EOTech EFLX Mini Red Dot sight, providing the ability for magnified shooting as well as close-quarters, fast target acquisition. With the included ring mount, the EFLX Mini Red Dot can be mounted on top or at a 45-degree offset angle.

Vudu without red dot

Of course, the new Vudu 3-9x32mm is also fog, water and shock resistant.

Vudu with red dot

We think the new Vudu 3-9x32mm will be an ideal optic for keeping hogs, coyotes and other varmints at bay, and even big-game hunting at reasonable distances. If you’re in the market for a compact variable-power optic that more than carries its weight, you need to check it out.

Recipe: Deep-Rooted Venison Stew

It comes from the vegetables and mushrooms you choose.
