Given those options I would go with option A. A good bolt action is a better choice for hunting. And save up for the 22.
I will offer option C: get a budget bolt action like the Marlin X, Ruger American or Savage Axis, and A budget 22. Scope both modestly. Then save up for the really nice gun/scope you want.
