    Can you give your expert opinion or maybe come up with an informative video if you can use magnifiers on prism scopes (1X, 3X etc.). Red dots look smeared and not really a dot when used with magnifiers. I wonder if magnifiers can be combined with a prism red dot and has suitable eye relief, eye box, etc.

    The Vudu is the exact same format and overall optical performance you get from any sight with similar characteristics. There is absolutely no innovation to it. Cheapass .22lr and airgun scopes have been doing the same for decades.
    *Vudu 3-9x32:*
    Field of view (100 yards) = 3X: 38 ft (11.6 m), 9X: 12.7 ft (3.9 m)
    Eye relief = 3X: 2.5-3.1" (64-81 mm), 9X: 2.3-3.1" (59-79 mm)
    *UTG 3-9X32 BugBuster:*
    Field of view (100 yards) = 3X: 37.69 ft (11.49 m), 9X: 14 ft (4.27 m)
    Eye relief = 3X: 4.2" (107 mm), 9X: 3.1" (81 mm)
    I wouldn't take UTG over Eotech, yes, Eotech will be made better for sure. Just pointing out there is nothing new or ingenious here, it's a very old concept.

There’s a ton of interest in it so we’ll see how it does but I do like it (although I feel like I’m very biased because we sell PA). At the very least, when people say they don’t want Chinese products we can direct them to American made alternatives.

      At $700 I won't be getting one either, but I watched a full review of it and I say for its segment it's feature rich and well thought out, and they've had them in field use for a year. It has a two stage shake awake feature, different programmable reticle layouts, and it's sitting in some sort of internal chassis to handle shock absorption. Battery location is set up so you don't have to remove the whole unit to replace a battery, eliminate the need to re-sight it in.
