just cleaning up the factory rough edges. No series name, just Ruger's logo on it. Normally a satin finish, not the deluxe high polish finish. Usually about $500 difference.
Take a good look at al-la-carte vs Package Custom

The packages are more expensive but the value is far greater too. For a little more you can get a custom gripframe change, custom barrel with throating, porting, and crowning. A mew front sight (some packages), custom barrel length choice. On and on depending on what package you choose. Even a large caliber change or 5,7, 8-shot conversions.
Check out the total packages against the select features you desire to change, it might be a better deal to go all in. Like Mr. Taffin says, in a year you will not miss that extra money.
*My eyes are dilated what a booger to type! LOL
Once I figured up about $900 of custom alterations...

It was much better to spend $1200-$1500 for a package custom and get so much more. Plus it can be a real beater Ruger in any caliber. I don't mind spending $500 on a nice revolver to have it modified to suit my wishes, beyond that I go full custom, no holding back.
Much obliged

I understand your woes with the dilated pupils, have had it done many a time mi amigo.

SEMI CAN BE ANYTHING FROM CUSTOM GRIPS UP; FULL CAN INCLUDE CHANGE OF CALIBER, BARREL CHANGE,CYLINDER CHANGE, SIGHTS, GRIPS, FINISH, AND ON AND ON AND ON

built on our own frames with the gun being built completely from the ground up, the difference could be $2000 or more. But on a standard custom where we change the caliber, say from 41 Magnum to 41 GNR, refinish and action job, then you are talking somewhere around $500 to $750 difference. Like John said it could be endless changes and differences.
