Thumbs up Some changes to the Mark III

After shooting my Mark III in a 50 foot indoor NRA .22 match, I made a few changes. For one the BSA red dot sight I had on the gun had WAY too coarse of a dot in it. Dot was just too big on the target. I changed over to a Millet fine dot. This sight is lighter as well.
Secondly, I picked up a set of used wood target grips from an old Mark I. After some mods with a Dremel tool, they now fit and I can operate the slide release and safety. The gun feels much better and holds steadier, we'll see after the next match.....
Here's the way it was,
Here's what I did,

Believe it or not, it was only $60.00 new w/ battery.
And the grips, used, were $20.00!!!!!!

Thats a very nice looking Ruger you got there. With the high cost of ammo, I think everyone will be getting a 22. Thats what I'm looking for right now.
