Rifle Scopes Proper M40A3 Optic?

I've finally ordered a mil-spec M40A3 from GAP and want to get an equally high-quality optic for it. I was originally thinking of going with a USO SN-3, but I've (partially) decided that if I am paying as much as I am for the rifle to be mil-spec, it would be cool and worth it as well to get the mil-spec scope. I've seen the actual M8541 USMC scopes but I cannot afford the extra 1000-2000 dollars extra for the legitimate scopes.

I found this SB on PMII and I thought was basically an exact M8541 scope without the USMC labeling and a different elevation knob, but I wanted to check before I went and accidentally spent $3500. Is this the closest/most accurate civilian PMII to the M8541? If not, which would be the most similar civilian model?

Thanks for the confirmation. I will be putting in a order for this today.

I have the same scope, and ordered it through EuroOptic as well. You won't be disappointed.
