So you need them one apart depending on the scope your mounting so 3-4, or 4-5. I have a Burris 2x pistol scope on mine and there is plenty of scope clearance.

Welcome to the Forum!
"Thank goodness we have another handgun hunter!"

I second that!

As a longtime handgun hunter,, I enjoy seeing more folks who take that kind of challenge. My first dedicated handgun for hunting was a scoped Redhawk! And KUDOS on the elk. We love elk around here,, just never get enough of it!

Welcome. You should really enjoy your new revolver. You can go with a red dot or scope. I recommend the UltraDot's for a red dot. There are some good handgun scopes out there as well.

I have two SRH's in 44, a 9.5" and a 5" (custom). They both have UltraDots. I have a Contender in 44 with a Weaver 2-6 scope. Natchez Shooter's Supply carry these. exclusively.

Congrats on your elk.
