On the .270 I'd recommend standard base Leopold mounts & rings for a 1" tubed 3-9x40. Invest in the best glass you can get for your money. I don't have Meopta, but have heard of them -- same for Docter Optic, which I do have. I have a bunch of other European glass which is great but expensive. Even if you picked up a used Leopold Vari X II or III you'd be ok for what your purpose is, although in dark timber late in the evening you'd be hard pressed to make the shot with standard US crosshairs.

For the 22cf's, there's quite a few scopes out there so it's a matter of personal taste and the size of your pocketbook. You could always upgrade and start also with a standard 3-9x40 or 4-12x40, and nowadays there's a bunch of 4-20x44s or so. Just glance through theopticzone.com, bearbasin.com or swfa.com and you've got a variety to look at with prices for everyone, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
