Welcome to the board Turkey Slayer. The Browning " A" Bolt is a fine rifle.There are so many quality made rifles your best bet would be which one feels good to you.I prefer the Ruger M-77' s. They fit me well and accuracy is more then accectable for hunting purposes. The Ruger' s come with scope rings as standard equipment.I' ve only owned a couple Winchesters and have been happy with their performance.I shot a Browning " A" Bolt once and I was amazed how accurate it was right out of the box.Talk to friends who have different rifles and see if you can try them out.You still have time to find one that you' ll be happy with.Whatever rifle you decide on,I would recommend buying a good scope and leave the lower end scopes alone.That' s of course if you plan on scoping your rifle. Take your time and try as many out as possible.Good luck in your selection.
