Default 454 Casull scope question

I've got a Ruger Super Redhawk 454 Casull with the 7.5" barrel. Last Fall I put a Leupold scope on it and was think of trying something different this year. I bought a Bushnell Holo sight for my of my turkey guns this Spring but now I'm ready to put it on a different cannon, my hand cannon "BLUE"

The Holo sight needs a rail mount and my Casull is slotted for ring mounts. Has anyone mounted a Holo sight to a Super Redhawk frame before and if so, how did ya do it?

Here's a pic of the rings on it now, I'm not sure how I'd get a rail mount on the frame.


Thanks.

Brownells sells a few mounts that mount into the ring cuts - that have the normal Weaver cut outs. Would this work?

B Square makes a mount #42980 that mounts to your Ruger Super RH to Weaver style base ( the one listed is Target Gray ,to match your 454)

I use a set of Ruger 30mm rings with a Millit 30 mm red dot sight on my Ruger SRH 454 ,I also use a Bushnell 2-6 X 32 scope.

Thanks I'll be looking into these options. I've email Brownells and will be email B-Square today. I wish B-Square had a photo of the mount on that link Thanks again

off topic but i agree with hunter4life, that gun is sweet with the leupold, if it was mine id leave it but a holosight is not a bad choice either

Thanks I love this gun! It's packs a hell of a punch and should do great on a bear or deer this season. If I get drawn for a moose permit I'm thinking a trying to take one with it. I've seen a video of Dave Emery taking an elk with a 44mag so I figure if I'm close enough (under 30 yards), it could take down a moose.

I tend to like the Leupold too but it's a fine line when I put it up to sight through the scope. You have to be just right to get a full view through the scope. With the Holo sight I shouldn't have to search for that perfect view. I've emailed Brownells and B-square but have yet to hear back from them. Thanks again for the help and the comments

Happy hunting this FALL!
