If money is no object and you like single actions.... the only way to go is the Freedom Arms, probably the 7.5" model so it's easier to carry... accuracy you can't believe. But being more realistic, I still prefer my Ruger SBH with a 8" barrel. It's still my favorite for hunting where offhand shots are more the norm. It's strong, takes a pounding year after year with thousands of rounds thru mine. My shooting style and preferences lean towards the SA instead of the DA. I've had both but didn't like the way they felt.
I have SA with scopes and reddots and prefer the reddot for hunting. On the lower settings the dot is small enough to still be able to shoot groundhogs at 200 yards but crank it up a few clicks and it'll show up well in bright sunlight. I've never had any problems with the Tasco Propoint on my Ruger, I did have a bit of a problem with a Millett, the springs kept bending that holds the battery in place and it'd go off and come back on from time to time. That has never happened with the Propoint.
I agree with Ben on a 2 power scope if it's going to be a hunting handgun where you'll have to make an offhand shot most of the time. Not many can hold the 4 power steady enough to feel comfortable when hunting and it's also a bit much when you're trying to locate an animal in a wooded or brushy area. For what you're wanting, you'll almost have to handle the different guns and see what feels best to you. I think any of the Rugers or Freedom Arms hold up the best for heavy hunting type loads but many find that they feel more comfortable with the grip and feel of a S&W or a Taurus.
The Ruger Super Redhawk has scope mounts on top of the action which are plenty strong. I have SSK T'SOB mounts on all my handguns with either 2 or 3 rings on them. Don't scrimp on your mount, it's every bit as important as your gun, loads or sights. It's like the foundation of a house, if it's weak, then everything else is gonna fail because of it. Good Luck in your selection and hunts.
