Scope mounts for ruger blackhawk
« on: July 22, 2008, 05:13:39 PM »
Hey guys I need some help.  Is it possible to put scope mount on a blackhawk that only has a 4 5/8 barrel.  The gun shoots good it is just about 2 or 3 inches to the left of the bullseye, and I've run out of adjustment with the sight.  I've tried several types of ammo, and the gun is going to be used for whitetail.  I've read on here that the Weigan( not sure how you spell it) mount for the ruger blackhawk is a very strong mount, and I know i'll have to drill and tape some holes for it.  Are these are any other mounts you guys use able to fit on such a short barreled handgun without looking ridiculous.  Thanks guys for the help.

  Besids the Weignd there's Leupold and I believe a few others that make bases for the BH and SBH models.   Before you go this route of drilling & Tapping make sure that the gun is shooting left and it's not you.  Left is often attributed to poor trigger technique.  Many, many folks alwasys eem to put the problem on the firearm and don't consider thier own technique as the problem.
