I think it's possible to retrofit the elevation adjustment in a non cds and have a dial etched. Give em a call to nail down the economics.

That's a good deal, assuming it's in good condition. Normal going rate on various forums for that scope would be $275-$325 shipped.
Another option if you get it is to have the reticle changed to an LR reticle. I had this done on an old style vxi for 70 and also have the same reticle on a vxii and it works quite well.
I think they might have a reticle now with elevation and wind adjustment which I would actually prefer if I could get it.

I think you'll be happy. I paid somewhere around that for my , vxii 4-12. I'm pretty happy with the image out to 300 yards. Don't have any experience with the high $$ ones, but I'm not sure how much more optic I need to shoot an animal I've already spotted from 300 yards during legal hours anyhow.

I prefer the VX3 over the VX3i. I have two VX3i's but many more VX3 models. The only variation between them that makes any difference to me is the VX3 has a rubber around the eye piece.
Other than that any other differences are pretty well no issues to me. Sounds minor but that little piece of rubber gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Given the choice and need I would purchase a NIB or LNIB VX3 over a VX3i here on out. All that said I never been hit with a scope or got a scope eye. But one of these days I reckon I will.
