Scope mount help

[Geezer Ray]

I have picked up a 1984 or 85 Ruger Redhawk 44 Magnum in stainless. I would like to put a scope on this pistol. It has a seven and one half inch barrel but there are no indentions on the top of the gun like the newer models. Does anybody have any idea how I can mount a scope without drilling and tapping? Or is that the only option?

No first-hand experience, but I've been considering getting one of those pistols down the line, so I looked into mounts, and these no-drill mounts seemed to get the best reviews, however, I have heard reports that it will cause some damage to the finish, so maybe it's a pick-your-poison situation.

Been looking at these and you may be right.

Ray, I have had good luck with the T.S.O.B mount with the three rings.
