When building a precision-ready rifle for both close-quarters speed and extended-range engagements, the optic you choose defines how effectively you translate holdovers and adjusts to dynamic lighting. The right LPVO balances rugged construction, clear glass, and practical reticle geometry so you can acquire targets quickly and then make precise corrections as distance grows.

EOTECH VUDU 1-10X28 FFP (SR5) blends a hard-use chassis with a first focal plane reticle and illuminated speed ring that suit competition, patrol, and serious recreational shooters. Shop this product

Durability and build quality

The Vudu series uses a single-piece construction from aircraft-grade aluminum and o-ring seals to create a shock-resistant, moisture- and dust-proof housing. Laser-etched adjustment indicators remain visible after hard use, giving technicians and shooters confidence that elevation and windage readings are still reliable under stress.

Optical system and illumination

Glass and coatings

XC High-Density low dispersion glass with anti-reflective coatings delivers efficient light transmission and crisp edge-to-edge clarity across the 1–10x range. That glass performance is what separates a true tactical LPVO from lesser variable optics when dialing for mid-range precision.

Low-light usability

Illumination is activated via ergonomic push buttons on the turret, and the iconic illuminated speed ring on the SR5 gives fast target acquisition in dim conditions while preserving fine subtensions at higher magnification.

Reticle and first focal plane advantages

The SR-5 reticle is a hashmarked inner crosshair using MRAD subtension lines for intuitive ranging, holdover and wind compensation. A Christmas-tree style lower half with a 0.25 MRAD center dot and secondary windage/elevation features supports precise holds without constant dialing—ideal for dynamic scenarios that require rapid, repeatable corrections. Because the reticle is first focal plane, MRAD values remain accurate at every magnification.

At a retail price of $1,749.00 this optic sits in the premium LPVO category, offering features and materials consistent with high-end mission optics. View product details and pricing

Who should consider the Vudu SR5

Operators and competitive shooters who need a true all-purpose optic—fast at 1x and capable at 10x—will appreciate the SR5’s combination of robustness, optical clarity, and practical MRAD-based holdovers. For those comparing LPVOs, the Eotech engineering and SR-5 reticle layout make it a top choice for duty and match use. Check current availability
