Well I finally finished my shorty. All I really needed to do was decide on some better iron sights and decide if I was going to scope it. I have decided not to scope it for the time being as my stock SBL is already equipped with a scout scope. I did, however, leave open the possibility for something in the future. For those not familiar with it's story, you can read up here.

I went with the XS sights as I already have three other sets and I feel comfortable using them. I got the XS/DRC set though as I kind of like the idea of the winged cradle that came with this set, especially since it's going to be iron sight only. The front and rear ghost ring is no different than the standard sights but the winged cradle is actually made of steel and is quite robust. I also decided to put install an XS Scout rail on it. I hate leaving the factory rear sight on and folding it down and I really wasn't keen on a slot blank for this rifle. I actually think the rail looks good on there like it is and it will afford me the opportunity to experiment in the future with different options. For now it will be just like it is. Enjoy.
