The market for red dot optics is getting more crowded by the week. This week we have a different brand of optic coming to us, one we don't hear a lot about, that's none other than Meopta.

EOTECH a company once thought of as primarily a maker of red dot optics has made aggressive moves in the last few months to expand their product line with the release of three new optics they have called their Vudu line.
