I like a one piece base (B-Square) for my rifles and use Leupold or Warne QD rings as I prefer low power variable for my hunting rigs and swap in a high power scope for load developement. If you have no plans for changing scopes alot Burris Signatures are a favorite of mine. For a Hunting scope I look for a scope that has at least a 40' FOV on the bottom end, you never know when you'll be in a situation where you have to take a shot at 20'(one that snuck in behind you, going into the thick stuff to finish one off). Most of the scopes that have 2x-3x on the bottom end will do that, get the clearest(best ) glass you can afford. A good 3x9( Conquest/Elite 4200) will be alot better long range scope than a cheap higher power scope. You can substitute any premium scope I just used the Zeise and Bushnell as an example. For top end power anything is the limit.
Bipods get into accuracy problems when the forend of the stock is not stiff enough and the stock hits the barrel when weight is put on the very end of the forend, the same thing happens when a sling is used as a shooting aid with a flimsy forend.
