The Meopta MeoStar 3-12x56 has very good glass and is easily capable of twilight hunting. But the choice of reticle here is important. They don't offer a "German #4 illuminated"" as in your title but do have the 4-C, 4-K, BDC-2, BDC-3, etc.
The 4-C in the R1r has a dot that covers about 2 MOA at 100 yards. Some like that, but I do not. For one, with that much surface area, in the lowest of light it will negatively impact your vision simply because the illumination doesn't dial down all that low.
The 4-K illuminates the center "+."
I prefer the BDC-2 and 3 series simply because the dot is MUCH smaller than the 4-C in the R1r. The reticle style on those is somewhat of a 4-A, and only the dot illuminates. On the flip side, the center wires are thin and sometimes hard to see against a darker target. So if for some reason you lose the illumination, you just might lose the shot opportunity.
But the glass is very good, and the scope is ruggedly built and reliable.
