The Hensoldt 3-12x56 FF has excellent glass and I understand it is easy to get behind - has a forgiving eyebox. This has a clean basic Mil-dot reticle. What about the much more modern Kahles K318i with a MSR or SKMR3 reticle. I have not looked at either scopes. I have owned Hensoldt items in the past. Yes, the Hensoldt has no practical service option in the USA.

What about the S&B 5-20 Ultra-short or a S&B 3-12x50 PM II, with a P4F ?



Will mount on a HK MR 762. Not a rig to roll around in the dirt. It's a heavy thing.

Looking for good FOV.

If you want a scope in that mag range with a great eyebox good FOV and it being serviced in the USA I'd also look at Zero Compromise Optics ZC 420 4-20x50
