I appreciate all the comments. I have pretty much decided on keeping the wood furniture. I understand everyone saying get an AR or AK, but personnally I don't like the looks of either of those. I have shot the AR platform more than probably any other gun and have never been all crazy for it. I do think I want to shorten the barrel to make it more easily handled. I can't decide between the leupold 2.5 scout scope or the Burris 2.75 scout scope.
