The EOTech VDU18SFHC3 Vudu delivers precision optics with true 1-8x magnification range for versatile engagement distances. This second focal plane riflescope bridges the gap between close-quarters speed and long-range accuracy with crystal-clear glass and intuitive controls.
What Makes This Different
Unlike fixed-power scopes that limit engagement flexibility, the Vudu's 8x zoom ratio covers everything from room-clearing to precision shots at extended range. The HC3 MOA reticle provides holdover points calibrated for common cartridges, while the illuminated center dot ensures fast target acquisition in low light. EOTech's glass quality rivals optics costing significantly more, delivering edge-to-edge clarity that maintains contrast even at maximum magnification.
Key Features
- True 1-8x24mm magnification with 30mm main tube for maximum light transmission
- Illuminated HC3 MOA reticle with 11 brightness settings plus off positions
- Second focal plane design keeps reticle size constant across magnification range
- Integrated throw lever for rapid magnification changes under stress
- Aircraft-grade aluminum construction with black anodized finish
- Fully multi-coated lenses with anti-reflective coating
- Waterproof, shockproof, and fog-proof sealed construction
Field performance centers on the scope's ability to transition seamlessly between magnification settings while maintaining zero retention. The 24mm objective lens gathers sufficient light for dawn and dusk shooting while keeping overall length manageable on tactical rifles. Turret tracking remains consistent through temperature extremes, and the illumination system preserves night vision with red dot visibility. Competition shooters appreciate the precise reticle subtensions, while tactical users rely on the scope's ability to withstand repeated impacts without shift.
