The Zeiss Diatal 6x42 would serve perfectly well for 90% of what you want to do, and for the other 10% just get a bit closer. And they are nice and light. Not sure the 8x56 has much over the 6x42, but if you are mostly shooting roe/ foxes at longer range then perhaps this might be an option. But the 42 allow lower mounting, and even more so with the 3-9x36.

I have a 6x42 diatal and it is excellent in low light. I can shoot well beyond being able to see the quarry with the naked eye.

Big question is do you want to use it close range driven type shooting and for this do you want to use a scope as opposed to open sights. If yes then a 1.5-6x42 might be perfect. Or a1-4x20 and an 8x56 might be the way to go. Given your calibre not really a question though.
