I would seriously look into what quickdraw is recommending. there is not really a better or worse time to buy LR stuff for pricing. Winter seems to have better in-stock options and gunsmiths have a "somewhat" smaller backlog. Glass is just as important as a rifle, so budget and find scope at the same time you look for a rifle. I also think your better off buying more than you think you need at the beginning. Upgrading LR stuff is pricy and not easy like upgrading AR's.
