Did you use the rings that came with the gun ?

I've got a Super Blackhawk (plain model, no Bisley grip or built in bases for rings) that I picked up last year. Tried to add a No-tap base for a red dot and never could get it to setup right so I've gone back to open sights. Really want to kill a couple of things with it this year and am building some 240gr cast SWC loads for it now. I've love to put an optic on it, but not sure who could drill/tap it for me or how much that would cost.

OP, your SBH Hunter should make a fine deer getter. I like the Bisley frame much better than the plowhandle but I was unable to find one in .41 mag, so I just went with some oversized grips from Texas Grips like these on my .44 Special Flattop.

Me too! I did that for many years and evolved from 44's and 41 Smith's to Contenders... Likely to go back that direction as I get older... the old bow drawing muscles ain't what they used to be and arthritic shoulders are sure making bow hunting a chore...

It was stolen and I never replaced it, as it just didn't feel like I was handgun hunting when I used it. I bought my first .44 Mag revolver in 1971 and have owned at least one ever since then.
