Any recommendations for a factory 44 Magnum revolver which comes with fiber optic sights?

Concerning my separate post for recommendations on a deer & hog gun, I'm looking at 44 Mag revolvers compared with T/C pistols. So far the best revolver option I've found is S&W 629 with HiViz front sight, but it's pricey. I don't think Ruger offers a factory fiber sight option on their revolvers, unless I've missed it(?).

Does Taurus? Any others? Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info. I checked out the Marble sights from Midway USA and they look pretty good. The price is right too, less than $20 for a green or orange fiber front sight. Looks like no gunsmithing would be required, which is also a bonus as I've only done basic work before (installed TruGlo shotgun sights, changed a stock, etc.).

I'd appreciate comments from anyone that has a Taurus .44 Magnum. My local Bass Pro has one for about $200 less than the comparable S&W 629 in 44 Mag. I'm curious about general quality and durability, and if there are fiber optic sights available for Taurus revolvers (factory option or do-it-yourself either one).

Check out Tru-Glo's web sight (truglo.com). I don't think there is any handgun they don't make fiber optic sights for. Don't know any factory .44's that come w/ F/O sights, only a couple S&W's in .357, and only the front sight. Sorry.
