I am putting the Simmons 2x6x32mm handgun scope on my SRH just for deer season & after i will take it off & shoot it ALOT lol i currently have 1,685 rounds loaded & waiting on my SRH
Still have mine. Got it somewhere back around 90-91. Had a lot of fun back then shooting it long range off a bench. I never really cared for the 8 3/8ths tube on an N frame but the 9.5" really "works" on the SRH. Especially with a scope.
I had a 9.5" SRH in .44. Bought it used in 2000 and traded it for a 7.5" SRH in .480 one year ago.
Mine wore a One Ragged Hole appeture and the Ruger gold bead front sight. Without a scope it was certainly long but not heavy or bulky in my opinion. Shot well also.
