Leupold CDS is a pretty easy way to do things, and it works for hunting situations. They're not made for guys that like to twist turrets like an etch-a-sketch, but fine for hunting. Get a VX-2 or better in the 3-9 or 2-10 range with a CDS and you will be fine.
I'd go with a VX-3HD 3.5-10x40 CDS-ZL. Get a bunch of ammo and figure out your turret settings, get the custom one cut and have a ball.
You'll need the "bunch of ammo" just to get the scope in reference sighted in. I had 2 of that exact model of scope give up the ghost on me, and both did it in under 300 shots. I've had trouble with a few other Gold rings as well. I moved on to other brands and haven't looked back.
I'll give a 3rd vote for the SWFA 3-9 or the NF 3-10. Perfect scopes for the stated uses. Can't go wrong with either.
I'd stay away from BDC turrets and reticles. They needlessly complicate the process of hitting mid range and far off targets. Measuring reticles can be used with any load in any atmosphere.
