If the new rifle comes with rings I would see if I could use those first. As a next choice for hunting/target I would use the Warne rings as was suggested. For the most rugged use I would go with a rail screwed down onto the receiver and rings that clamp to the rail and scope.
As for rifle hard case the Pelican is an excellent choice but if you don't need that much protection there are other choices. Most outdoors and sporting goods stores have some to choose from.
Something that would be nice to have is a bipod. Harris is a good choice or if you have some extra $$ then go with an Atlas.
Enjoy!
