    Rifle Scopes Review of the Eotech Vudu 5-25, Now With Photos

    Appreciate the suggestion. I have put a new battery in it which did help but still not what I feel it should be. I would only call it visible at dawn or dusk and even then it’s got dark spots (almost non-illuminated) and bleeding. You’re right though..... fresh batteries usually take care of...

    Rifle Scopes Review of the Eotech Vudu 5-25, Now With Photos

    Also agree with the above. Great glass, size, weight and features for the price. I’m going to give them a call though because the illumination on mine with the MD3 reticle isn’t even close to daylight bright and does bleed more than I think it should. Here it is on a 20” 6.5 Creedmoor I built:

    Rifle Scopes New 5-25x50 Vudu

    I can measure later but if my memory is right it's right at 4 3/4" max length on a one piece mount.

    Rifle Scopes New 5-25x50 Vudu

    Nice rifle. X-bolt speeds and long ranges are a favorite of mine; great shooters. I’ve got a .300 WSM also in a Hell’s Canyon Long Range with the McMillan stock. Thought about mounting my Vudu on it but the VX-6HD I have on there is already mounted as far back as possible on the rail and still...

    Rifle Scopes New 5-25x50 Vudu

    Not sure about other mounts but the JP one piece mount I had was too wide to fit. I went with Seekins extra high rings on my Aero 6.5 Creedmoor and they worked out perfect for me.

    Rifle Scopes New 5-25x50 Vudu

    I also really like mine. Great glass, great magnification range and love the short overall length. As stated above the reticle is fantastic with the floating dot.

    Rifle Scopes New 5-25x50 Vudu

    I put it on my 6.5 Creedmoor gas gun. Seekins extra high (1.26”) rings fit perfect. Haven’t shot it yet but it is easy to get behind.

    Rifle Scopes New 5-25x50 Vudu

    Glad to see they took care of it.... hopefully it'll be good to go. Just received mine today as well. First impressions are it's a well put together compact package. I really like the MD3 reticle a lot but the illumination isn't as bright as I was expecting it to be. Guess I was hoping for...

    Rifle Scopes T5XI vs Vudu 5-25

    Thanks. Ended up going with the Vudu 5-25 with MD3 reticle...... looking forward to putting in some time behind it.

    Rifle Scopes T5XI vs Vudu 5-25

    That's the kind of info I'm looking for. Thanks for the reply! I've nearly decided to stay with the 3-15 if go with a T5XI only because of the length of the 5-25. Size is important to me and I like the fact that I can get high magnification in such a short package. In your opinion (and I know...

    Rifle Scopes T5XI vs Vudu 5-25

    Honestly either is fine with me. MD3 on the Eotech or the SCR MIL on the Steiner.

    Rifle Scopes T5XI vs Vudu 5-25

    I'm about to pick up one of these two scopes. I can get either of them for about $1450 new but my question is which one would you choose and why? The Eotech hasn't been out very long and I've seen the couple issues that other members had in the Vudu thread which is the only thing that concerns...

    Hiperfire 24E vs 24C

    Appreciate the replies. Ended up ordering the 24E for $129.95.

    Hiperfire 24E vs 24C

    Plan to pick up a trigger tomorrow for my new build. Should I go with the Hiperfire 24E or the 24C? Based on sale prices the 24C is about $50 more than the 24E right now. I don't really have a preference of straight or curved trigger bow. Primary use of the rifle is long range target with some...

    Rifle Scopes Which scope? XTR II 4-20x50 vs SHV 5-20x56

    Appreciate the replies. Lots of good suggestions! The main reason is because I want something with a bit more magnification. Aside from that it would be a very strong contender.

    Rifle Scopes Which scope? XTR II 4-20x50 vs SHV 5-20x56

    Appreciate the replies. I would prefer the MIL/MIL setup but just wanted to be sure I wasn't giving up a lot in quality of the scope. I've never owned an XTR II (or any Burris for that matter) but haven't seen much negativity towards them other than some stating the glass isn't that great...

    Rifle Scopes Which scope? XTR II 4-20x50 vs SHV 5-20x56

    I'm trying to decide on an optic for my new build and have pretty much narrowed it down to these two. I like the MIL/MIL adjustments on the Burris, the FFP SCR MIL reticle as well as the 34mm tube and exposed windage turret. However I feel like the Nightforce may have a bit better glass based on...
