Help with putting a red dot on a 44mag
« on: December 18, 2007, 03:58:37 AM »
I have a 44 mag Virginian Dragoon and want to put a REd Dot on it.  Has anyone done this and if so what all is involved.  What components will I need to mount it?

Congrats on acquiring one of those nice beefy revolvers.

Does that Dragoon look like this?  Looks like it will need to be drilled and tapped by a competent gunsmith if it can be done at all.

Hey Whitetailer,

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I see you have a GP 100. I was thinking of putting a red dot scope on my GP 100. Can you put a scope on that gun?
