I won't give you a suggestion for "what scope" but will give you some questions you need to answer for yourself before you choose what glass to put on top.
How far do you plan on shooting - what you need will be quite different if you are shooting yote's at 100 yards or 700 yards.
Will most of your shooting be done at dusk and dawn or the middle of the day. You don't need to pay extra for a scope that gathers light better if you are only shooting in the daylight.
Is this something that you will "flip" in a couple years to fund a different scope or are you the kinda guy that buys something and keeps it forever. While Leupold does hold value you pay a premium for that up front. If you are never going to sell it it could be similar to buying insurance for something you don't own - you could find a different scope just as clear/bright/functional for less money.
How often are you realistically going to shoot? A 200 or 300 dollar scope is often fine for the deer hunter who goes out one week a year with his buddies. They work, they are functional and a perfect for the one or two shots "that count" that they may take. They don't want bells/whistles etc.
The answer to those questions will help determine what you need. Close shots don't require extreme magnification. Close shots don't require significant compensation capabilities (adjustable turrets, parallax focus, windage dots or bullet drop compensating reticles). Only you can determine what you will need.
If you list what you want the scope to be able to do for you and what your budget is, you will probably get more usable suggestions. But ultimately you should end up making a short list and then getting somewhere where you can actually look through the scopes on your list.
Just because everyone and their dog says scope A is better than sliced bread, you may look through it and say "nope, don't like it" - and then it doesn't matter who says what about it.
Last point - I read an article once where the writer suggested that we (collectively) "cheap out" on our optics. Today's rifles are all "super accurate" regardless of how much they cost. That accuracy is useless without good optics and good ammunition. He suggested that if you look at optics "twice" the price of your rifle cost you are probably getting close to what you should put on top....
