SFP, 5-25x50 FFP, 8-32x50 SFP, and the latest VUDU 3-9x32 SFP, which was unveiled at 025 SHOT Show and its European premiere happened just over a month later at Enforce Tac/ IWA. The youngest member of the VUDU family is a specific type of LPVO, as it allows for magnification changes ranging from 3x to 9x. The scope has very compact dimensions – its length is only 172 mm, and the objective lens diameter is 32 mm. Its shape so- mewhat resembles a „compressed" VUDU 5-25 x 50 scope. In addition to its compact size, the new scope also has a low weight of 474 grams with an integrated MIL- -STD-1913/Picatinny rail mount. The mount features a nut-locked clamp, which is simple, lightweight, and ef- fective. The adjustment turrets allow for a reticle shift of 60 MOA horizontally and 90 MOA vertically, with a 0.25 MOA per click. The elevation turret is capped and does not allow for ra- pid adjustments, while the windage turret allows for quick lateral correc- tions, and only the zeroing knob is protected by a cap. On the left side is the reticle illu- mination adjustment knob, providing ten levels of brightness. The knob also houses the CR2032 battery com- partment, which – according to the manufacturer – provides up to 300 hours of runtime. Between the eyepiece and the ad- justment turrets there is a magnifi- cation adjustment ring. Finally, the screw-in lever intended to facilitate adjustment has been abandoned and replaced with a raised ridge on the magnification ring. The lever is easy to operate both with a bare hand and while wearing gloves. The old solu- tion may have improved grip when manipulating the ring, but it had a tendency to bend upon impact with obstacles and snag on anything it could, inadvertently changing the magnification setting. The VUDU 3-9 is free of this issue. The scope's eyepiece has a diopter adjustment ring allowing the shooter to adjust the focus to their vision. The eye relief at 3x magnification is between 64-81 mm, and at 9x magni- fication, it is from 59 to 79 mm. The field of view of the scope at 100 yards is 11.3 meters at 3x magnification and 3.9 meters at 9x magnification. ACCESSORIES
