Tiny First Focal Plane — SHOT Show 2026

EOTech expands the Vudu lineup with the 4-12×36, a compact first focal plane optic that blends LPVO flexibility with precision capabilities.

What’s New With the 4-12×36 Vudu

The biggest change desired from users of the earlier Vudu models is the reticle system. Unlike the 3-9x version, the 4-12×36 uses a first focal plane reticle. That means subtensions stay accurate across the entire magnification range for accurate, fast holdovers.

EOTech built this optic to sit between traditional LPVOs and fixed-power combat optics. It doesn’t chase extreme magnification. Instead, it focuses on versatility in a small package. Shooters can run it on carbines, SPR-style rifles, or lightweight precision builds.

The optic keeps the same integrated base found on other compact Vudu models. That base supports aftermarket mini-ACOG mount patterns. Users can swap mounts without special adapters.

Designed for Versatile Rifle Setups

EOTech positions the 4-12×36 as a do-it-all optic. It stretches past typical LPVO magnification but avoids the size of larger precision scopes. The short body helps with balance on smaller rifles.

The optic works well for shooters who want more reach than a 1-6x or 1-8x. It still stays usable up close when paired with an offset red dot. EOTech offers that setup directly from the factory.

An available CQB package includes the EFLX red dot. Shooters can mount it on top of the scope tube or at a 45-degree offset. That setup supports fast transitions without adding much weight or bulk.

Availability and Pricing

The 4-12×36 Vudu doesn’t replace an LPVO or a full-size precision scope. It fills the gap between them. For shooters who want reach, compact size, and a first focal plane reticle, this optic brings a practical new option
