I talked to technical support with Leupold. Basic question is the glass in the VX-3HD and VX-5HD the same and the answer was NO. The VX-5HD has better glass. He told me the VX-5HD has a sharper image and better contrast. So it looks like the VX-5HD 3-15x44 is it. Now to decide which reticle. Leaning towards the FireDot.
