Thanks Pahoo, I should have mentioned the grips on it are wood, competition style with thumb rest making it bulky.

I could probably live with Mark II grips with the bolt stop button cut out, and it could be fun when somebody hands it back I can ask what they did with the bolt stop button that seems to be missing after they fired it!

I would like to find either some wood or the black plastic panels like you mentioned and then maybe an overlay grip or maybe the plastic grips will satisfy the small handed shooter. I am thinking about maybe fashioning a pair of wood grips myself and adding the overlay grips to cover my lack of craftsmanship.
