Just received my stainless ROA and would like to use it for deer hunting in MD. What base do I need to scope this thing? I'd like a base that requires no drill and tap. Also, I want Hogue rubber grips for it, but the Hogue site does not list any for the OA. Are Blackhawk grips a drop-in replacement, since the grip frame is Blackhawk (I think). Thanks for replies!

It looks like mounts that would fit a Blackhawk would fit. I personally have not had very good luck with no drill mounts. Brownells has a couple that would fit. They sell the EGW Revolver Scope mount # 296-302-101 in silver. It requires drilling and tapping two holes. Mounts low and uses the existing sight base for a recoil lug. It's $30.00. the other one they sell for the Blackhawk is #957-124-101 and again requires drilling and tapping.

I ran a small gunsmith shop for a while and the most product failures I had was with no drill revolver scope bases.

If you do put bases on you might consider one of the Dot scopes. I've used both for a lot of years and found as my eyes get older the dot sight is easier to use. I have an aimpoint 5000 with the one minute dot and it is much quicker to aquire the target than with a scope.
