red dot for Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter
« on: February 10, 2014, 06:00:48 AM »
I have the gun above and am looking for info on mounting a red dot type sight on it. I currently have a 2x Simmons scope on it but I just don't like the small scopes on a pistol for hunting. Is there an adaptor of some sort to make a weaver rail for mounting a red dot on this revolver. Has any one here done it?

Weigand makes a mount.  I personally would drill and tap it to place the optic back, but it's your call.

Banning the use of cell phones while driving would have the added benefit of making the no-texting law enforceable.

Thanks for the reply. I found the website and will be ordering one shortly. I have the Hunter model which has the built in rail with the two ring cutouts and Weigand make a picatinny rail that will work.

I often hunt with a Ruger Redhawk Hunter, that has the same style mounts as the Blackhawk Hunter.  You can use any 1 inch tube (30mm also available) without having to go to a pic rail.  The Ultra Dot series are good.  Shown is one I have had mounted on my Ruger since the 1980's.  Reliable with many hot loads thru that gun.
