I recenty purchased a Ruger Mark III hunter 678 (not the 22/45). I really like it and want to make a few changes. The first 250 rounds went through without any problem, but for the front sight shooting loose, which is common and has been fixed. I had a few other questions and appreciate any input, even yes or no answers.
1. Does the mag safety affect the trigger pull? i.e. if I convert to or disconnect the mag saftey, will that have any effect on the trigger pull (weight or smoothness?) I have read different conclusions on this. As a side, I have ordered a VQ sear.
2. Can I buy a Mark III with the 5 1/2 bull barrel and swap the sights with Mark III bull barrle hunter with fiber optic sights?? This would give me target sights on the 678 hunter for range/target use and bright fiber/optics on the plinking/hiking 5 1/2 barrel gun ??
3. Do the factory sights ever need adjustment from the factory setting?? My shots were all high and to the right at an indoor range. I was shooting offhand (did not have a bench rest) so I don't know if the sights need adjustment or if it is me.
Thanks.
