Not really the same scope but I have a 3 X 9 X 40 Leupold Mark AR scope with mil dot reticle. I'm a little disappointed on the use of this scope in low light compared to a cheap 2.5 X10 X 44 mil dot scope with lighted reticle. Even without using the lighted reticle the cheaper larger scope is quite a bit better. I don't know how this will differ from a VX III but I think the 44 MM objective or 50 MM makes a noticeable difference. I ended up buying a Vortex strike fire in the event I know I'm going to be poking around in the dark at close range. If I know I'm going to be shooting longer range I have my other rifle with the larger higher magnification scope.
