I have a Ruger Super Blackhawk hunter in 44 Magnum. that I would like to mount a Red Dot scope on. I'm wondering what mounts or bases I would have to get and if I would have to get the gun drilled and tapped. thanks

One option is the Weigand Ruger mini-scope mount. You remove the rear sight and install the mount. I have one on my 30 Carbine Blackhawk with a Burris FF2. It fits nicely.

I installed a Raptor Engineering mount on my Ruger Blackhawk 41mag with a Burris fast fire 2. Nice and sleek. Works well.
I have a blackhawk wth the weigand mount, and a vortex venom. It is a no drill mount. You remove your rear sight. It mounts there with a screw. There is also a leveling screw. I think mine is great.
I concur with the above folks, Weigand is the way to go. I have some of their mounts on Rugers & Freedom arms.
Aren't the hunter models set up for Ruger rings?
Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
yes they do but rings wont accept a red dot
you can or used to be able to find 1" red dots, but they are like looking through a straw. there are also 30mm rings available that open up more options.
I should've said wont accept my red dot. the tube diameter is 38mm. I will have to get the wiegland mount probably.
for hunting purposes would you guys choose a red dot or regular scope. I'm on the fence honestly never liked red dots. I had one on a slug gun didn't care for it. maybe different on a handgun though.
I prefer a red dot because, where I hunt a 50yd shot would be pretty long. With a red dot, I find that I can get off a faster shot compared to a scope.
Myself I prefer a 2x scope on a pistol
kids that hunt and fish dont mug old ladies
I took the scope off and like the red dot much more.

This scope mount fits ALL HUNTER MODELS. It puts a weaver rail on your Ruger Hunter while using the Ruger mounting points. I used one for awhile when I fist got my Hunter model.
if i couldnt get it done with 1" or 30mm rings, that is the way id go. ^^^
