Need your help guys, I pulled the trigger the other day on a super blackhawk hunter in .41, couldn't help myself. All I am needing is a 2x scope that fits the factory ring set-up without having to do any mods.

Leupold 2X should work.

i have the buris 2x on my redhawk AND my bisley hunter. i like it just fine on both. the one on the bisley hunter is an older model with adjustable objective and target turrets....just because i already had it here.they fit on a hunter model without mods.
the leupold should fit just as well, and do an equal job, both having 21' field of view at 100yrds.

i'd just buy whichever i could get the best deal on, if it were me. they can be picked up used for a deal, and have lifetime warranties.

I have used both Burris & Leupold 2Xs. While I prefer Leupold, I have no complaint with Burris fixed power scopes.

The hunter is a fine hunting handgun, but if you do not want to change anything, you have to be choosey on your scope selection. The hunter comes from ruger with low mounts and not all scopes will fit between the fixed sights with the low mounts... i.e..

This is a burris 2x (nothing wrong with the scope), but notice it doesn't fit between the sights. I exchanged my rings with ruger for the extra-high mounts so I wouldn't have to remove the rear sight for it to fit. If you do that, any scope will work; if you do not want to change rings, be choosey with your scope.
