I used to hunt a lot before I became disabled.

A Browning A-bolt is a great rifle but so are those others here that have been recommended.

A bolt action is more reliable, easier to clean, rare to malfunction, and a bit more accurate that a semi-auto. The difference in recoil is minimal if the rifles weigh the same.

As for muzzle velocity they should be the same for either. For slightly more get a longer barrel, shorter barrel will drop muzzle velocity a bit.

I still shoot a Browning 22-250 at varmints (prairie dogs) and I have a Burris scope on it. The Burris is comparable to a Leopold scope in quality. I would recommend this combo to anyone.

Don't let the recoil difference sway you, especially if you get a BOSS system on the barrel. It reduces recoil consideraby.
