If you've got the readies then the 883 from Kowa is the dog's. However if cash is in short supply check out the ES 80 GA ED from Opticron, Warehouse Express have some good prices at the moment.
If you've got any equipment to trade in then it might be worth considering a Swaro65HD...i have the larger version magnesium job which is a blinding bit of kit....[had to sell me soul to get it tho]..ha!
Kowa and Swaro are the best scopes about...tho i personally ain't keen on the dual focus nonsense...quite unnecessary...[in my opinion].
ps...i think that Kowa have just sorted out their maintenance/service department...[not so long ago if a Kowa went wrong then you were screwed]!
Swaro have a great record of service...probably...almost certainly...the best...! As oppose to Leica which is generally regarded as crap..
Depends on how much you've got to spend Tim..and also whether you prefer a light weight scope...angled/straight...etc
