imograss, if you do want to use iron sights with the ML barrel mounted it only takes about 2 or 3 minutes to swap out the Monte Carlo stock with a straight low comb stock. One of the reasons these guns are so popular is the ease and speed and low cost of reconfiguring them to whatever you want or need and the many varied available options. Another factor is the reasonable cost. A little bit of addittional info for you is that the H&R ML's are among the most accurate ML's on the market. Many here shoot very small (tiny!) groups at 100 yards with theirs. I am sure when you get set up, or if you want to get some info about what to try, members here will help with info and loads,bullets, powders, tips, etc. This is a friendly place full of people who are willing to share info and help others. As a matter of fact, many of us here, as is found in most of life, are just full of it!!!

P.S. if you do want to use the ML barrel with a scope, and many here do because of their great inherent accuracy, you can order it with a forearm to match your Ultra laminated buttstock. Be sure to discuss this aspect with the good people at CS (customer service) before you order the barrel, otherwise you will get a regular wooden forearm. Also ask them for a new catalog AND an accessory and additional barrel catalog. Good luck new buddy, you are quite probably about to become a Handiholic, but rest easy, you are among friends here. So just relax, ease back, and enjoy the ride!!!....<><.... :grin:
