Heavy barrel and quality trigger would be two of the more important parameters for your stated use.
Savage and Remington seem to be preferred by most folks who post here.
Scope? Up to what range do you expect to expect to do the majority of your target shooting? If only to 100 yards, magnification is not as important as if you're concentrating on, say, 300 or more. You could do well with a fixed 10X with fine crosshairs, for example, at 100.
