Appreciate it. I have been trying to decide on a scope.2.5in high at 25yds, gets you out to 70/75yds. Burris Fixed 2x, should make that thing shine.
Been out of look'n / buying guns for a while, do all the new Super Blackhawks come with a unfluted cylinder? If not, it's like the one I bought in the 90's.. beefed up for a lot of target shooting. Little heavier on the front end.. less recoil.Picked up this beauty a few days ago! I’m ready to dial it in and then chase some pigs. Hopefully I can post some pics soon.
I have the Bisley Hunter model. It came with scope rings from the factory. I just need to decide on a scope.
Nice. Well, at least you don't have to worry about rings and a mount.Picked up this beauty a few days ago! I’m ready to dial it in and then chase some pigs. Hopefully I can post some pics soon.
Wonder how many times it has changed hands since then?I sure miss mine. A methhead that busted my door down while I was at work several years ago decided he needed it more than I did.

Ruger Integral Scope Mount sockets and Rings are the very best available at any cost.I have the Bisley Hunter model. It came with scope rings from the factory. I just need to decide on a scope.
Fear not.When I first got really interested in rifles and deer hunting not all rifles were drilled and tapped for scope bases. There were a lot of hunters who didn't trust scopes and there were also those who could see no reason to change from a sighting system that had served them well. I myself saw no scope in my future.
So it should come as no surprise Bill Ruger didn't offer a drilled and tapped Super Blackhawk pistol, very few people had ever even seen a pistol with a scope on it. It was enough for most that we now had a large pistol in the .44 magnum available.
What I wanted was that big single action with a 7 1/2" barrel with pistol sights, I got one and was happy for decades.
But now my eyes are ageing, as are the eyes of many who have bought these pistols over the years. And I think a red dot is the best solution. I have an Aimpoint tube type red dot lounging in my safe that needs a gun to call home. Trouble is my Super Blackhawk is to old to be drilled and tapped from Ruger and I don't want it drilled and tapped. So some aftermarket system is my best bet.
But if I had it to do over again I would definitely get one already drilled and tapped. If they are not all shipped with at least a simple drilled and tapped job then I think they should be.
Things change. Times are different. Not many see a need to carry a lever action and a pistol of the same caliber anymore.
