Yep its amazing what a 44mag and 45 colt can do in experienced hands. If your eyes are good enough, no scope or optics needed. Now days I would have trouble with the Rams at 200 yds without optics. So do what you need with it is the best advice I can give you.
Well maybe one more tip.
Do not brace a 629 against your leg from a prone position. That cylinder gap will slice your new bluejeans and leg like a scalpel on firing. 
Yup,
If you take a look at the pics RJM posted, you can see the blackened knee area of my blue jeans, from shooting in the braced position, with the revolver between the knees.
