A friend has a M29 S&W in 44 mag and would like to scope it. I haven't seen the pistol yet, but I am assuming this will have to be drilled and tapped. I've used the B Sqare bolt-on bases but they're a bit too bulky IMO. What have some of you guys used to mount a base on your M29's?

629 maybe??? Ive got a Weigand weaver style on my 657. I just bad to remove the rear sight and screw it on. Worked great so far.

No, its the 29. The classic Dirty Harry, correct?
I don't believe the older models are predrilled.

Go with the SSK T'SOB your friend will not be sorry. Magnaport and SSK will install them or if you have a favorite Smithy order the unit and have them install it. It lacks nothing in recoil res. and bearing surface, the scope won't move. The top two guns have the T'SOB the lowest has the original FA Buehler (sp) mount. [img][/img]

Thanks. Looks like thats the way we'll roll.
