This is one of the finest rifle calibers in the world. You have made an excellent choice. You may have forgotten the action of the M1 Garand(semi automatic), the 7400 Remington, Browning BAR and several other makes in this action type--fully automatic weapons from WWII(just a thought)...but bolt action is definitely the best choice IMO. The Winchester model 70 is a good choice for a bolt rifle, but the Remington model 700 is more accurate if you ever had the fancy to do something involving precision. Model 70s are great rifles so you don't need to hesitate when this is a choice of yours. As for a scope, I highly recommend Leupold's Rifleman scope, or their VXI.
