The VX-III replaced the Vari-X III line in 2004. They changed a few things like coatings and index matched lenses, etc. Both scopes are excellent, and that price sounds pretty good. The replacement model is the Mk4 PR 3.5-10x40mm which sells for about $525 w/o mildots and $619 with mildots.
If you are not totally confused yet, they no longer make a VX-III tactical, they confused us more and made all their tactical scopes carry the Mark 4 name tag.
