I did send Hamilton an email but He said he cant remember if it takes the normal or the tall one. I need to measure it but I dont have anything to measure it with.

Here is the email I got from Hamilton.

Dear Sir:
Thanks for yours of this AM.

I cannot remember if the 'Hunter' model uses the tall rear sight or not. Believe so. Just measure the height of the rear sight from bottom of the blade holder section to the top of the blade. If it is about .350, the standard target sight is correct; if about .385, then you will need the 'tall' version.

Hope this will help; thanks for your interest.
Sincerely yours,

I will be getting the Bowen Rear Target sight. I just need to find out which one I need. And I will get some pictures of it up.

Does anyone know what size the rear sight is on the ruger super blackhawk hunter? Is it .350 or .385? Thanks guys.

I have a Bowen target rear sight on my SBH Bisley Hunter. the blade height is .350", my gun is a .45 colt and zeroed for 330gr cast boolits. The front sight is a HiViz and its blade is .315" above the flat rib along the barrel.
You won't regret buying the sight!
