Had a lot of the same questions when I bought my first Bolt Action Rifle earlier this year. As with anything, opinions vary, but here is a short list of what was suggested.

Scopes

These seem to be the more popular scopes that have been recommended to people new to shooting. Personally, I have the 10x SWFA fixed, and am planning on buying the Primary Arms after the holidays.

There are also a ton of quality second focal plane scopes for under $200.00 if you are on a budget.
