Barrel only has two screw holes under the rear sight , Do the scope mounts need to have two more holes drilled and tapped or are they a do it your self at home kind of thing?

I agree with the TSOB from SSK Industries with a 3-4 ring mount.

Send the barrel to SSK and have them mount a T'SOB  and use 3 rings. It's the cheapest most dependable way.
I recommend a 2X Leupold, although a 4X will also be satisfactory. No more magnification than 4X is necessary, or even desireable, on a .44 Magnum in my view.
Although Steve P. recommends a 2.5-8X Leupold, they're far too heavy on a 10" .44 Mag. in my opinion.
