i dont plan on getting a new stock and for a scope ill probably get a scout scope
Then you can really save some money. No drill and tapping or any need for a bent bolt. There are some good scout scope set ups that mount to the rear sight base. No gunsmithing required.
And I just love taking these ol military surplus rifles out hunting. Here is a hog I killed with a Finnish M-28 version of a Mosin Nagant. 203 grain Silver Bear bullet dropped him like a rock.
