Eotech VUDU 4-12X36 FFP ULTRA SHORT MR5 EFLX

The Eotech VUDU 4-12x36 FFP Ultra Short is a compact first focal plane rifle scope built for hunters and shooters who refuse to compromise on capability in a lightweight package. At just 7.1 inches long and 16.9 ounces, this scope delivers serious magnification range—4x to 12x—without the bulk that normally comes with that versatility. The aircraft-grade aluminum housing keeps it durable enough for hard use in the field while staying light enough that it won't bog down your rifle or tire your arms during long glassing sessions.

The MR5 reticle sits in the first focal plane, meaning it scales with magnification—a huge advantage for long-range work where holdovers and wind holds need to track across the entire magnification range. You get capped turrets with 0.1 MRAD click adjustments for precise elevation and windage tweaks. The illuminated reticle runs on a CR2032 battery with roughly 300 hours of runtime and offers 10 brightness levels, so you can dial in the perfect sight picture in dim timber or bright open country. The scope is fog, water, and shock resistant—built to handle whatever the backcountry throws at it.

One standout feature: the VUDU includes an integrated base compatible with most aftermarket mini-ACOG mounts, and the EFLX package gives you options for mounting an auxiliary optic at the 12 o'clock position or canted at 45 degrees. That flexibility means you can add a red dot for close-range shooting without dumping your primary scope. The 36mm objective and relatively compact form factor make this scope a solid fit for modern hunting rifles, tactical builds, or any setup where you need magnification without excess length.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between first focal plane and second focal plane scopes?

The VUDU's MR5 reticle sits in the first focal plane, meaning the reticle size changes with magnification. This is ideal for long-range shooting because your holdover marks and wind holds remain accurate at any magnification setting. Second focal plane reticles only work correctly at one specific magnification (usually highest power).

Can I mount an auxiliary optic or red dot on this scope?

Yes. The EFLX package option allows you to mount an auxiliary optic either at the 12 o'clock position on top of the scope tube or canted at 45 degrees, giving you flexibility for close-range snap shots without removing your primary scope.

How long does the battery last?

The CR2032 battery provides approximately 300 hours of runtime. The illuminated reticle has 10 brightness settings, so you can extend battery life by using lower brightness levels when appropriate lighting conditions permit.

What's included with the EFLX package?

The EFLX package includes a ring mount, allowing you to attach the EFLX auxiliary optic to the scope tube at either 12 o'clock or 45-degree positions.
