Hello, my first time in revolver country.
I would like to scope a .45 LC Ruger Blackhawk with a 4 5/8" barrel. I would appreciate some advice on mounts. Magnum level loads may occasionally be fired.
The design I think most interesting are the B-square full length rails that run from front site to back. They are not currently made for my barrel length. I like the fact that they require no gunsmithing and allow a more forward mounting. The B-square rep said they could custom build one in spring. The older clamp on style is too high and ugly.
Otherwise, the Weigland and similar units are cheap and require two screws tapped, but cover the top strap only. They might be more solid, maybe not.
Am I missing a major option? I don't need a mount built for .454 and I would rather make minimal alterations to the pistol and spend less.
