Ok so I bought the varmit stock, bought the wrong scout mount, just reordered the right one I hope..did the rough fitting for the stock now I have to glass bed it this weekend. As far as a trigger upgrade..im going to wait to see how I end up. I bought the dies, brass and hornady 140 grain bullets. I still have a crapload of the FMJs from german surplus but they really arent loaded that hot. I am very excited about this project as even before making any changes to my 1941 M38 small ring swede my iron sight shot groups from the bench without a sled were damn tight. hell crouched without any support they were 4.7 inches for all 10 shots at 100 yards. I've used the best the army has had to offer and not achieved that (crouching)with $3,000 optics lol. or that could just be a sign that I wasn't meant to use optics...
