fixed 4x32 ACOG, and Marines managed just fine), but it is much more convenient to simply have a MRDS. The EFLX on the VUDU is mounted on an additional ring mount that allows it to be attached in an offset position at a 45° an- gle on the right or left side, or centrally in a „piggyback" configuration. The shooter can choose what suits them best, considering all the pros and cons. I prefer the „piggy- back" setup because an offset mount signi- ficantly hinders or even prevents shooting with the support hand. I had the opportunity to thoroughly examine the VUDU 3-9 x 32 SFP in person, and I must say that the first impression (unfortunately, only observa- tion, without shooting) is very positive. We have a variable po- wer riflescope that is similar in size to an ACOG (although it is 3/4 heavier, of course) but provides the ability to increase magni- fication, while the ACOG is a prism with a fixed magnification. The build quality of the new VUDU is at EOTech's level, which is very high. The sco- pe addresses the issues known from earlier VUDU series, making it much more user- -friendly, especially for those who remem- ber the first VUDU series with the terrible reticle. General view V3-9 EFLX left side The HC-1 reticle is a MOA-based crosshair and has an illuminated cen- tral portion. The size of the central aiming mark at minimum magnifica- tion is 3.5 MOA, the line thickness is 1.2 MOA, the spacing between the markings is 6 MOA, the length of the shorter markings is 7 MOA, and the longer ones are 15 MOA. At 9x magnification, these values are 1.2 MOA, 0.4 MOA, 2 MOA, 2.5 MOA, and 5 MOA, respectively. The VUDU 3-9 comes in two variants – a base model with a MSRP of $1059 USD, and one with an backup EOTech EFLX mi- cro red dot sight at $1429 USD. This kit seems more optimal due to the scope's minimum magnification of 3x. Of course, it is possible to learn to shoot ef- ficiently, quickly, and accurately at short ranges with such magnification (for many years, the USMC's primary optic was the www.fragoutmag.com
