You must pay attention to the "Model specific" scope mounts. I don't believe your -3 is drilled and tapped for a scope mount. Look at the underside of the top strap and see if you can see three holes there, (they would be under the rear sight strap and not visible when viewed from the top). If not, you need the style that anchors only by the elevation screw "T-Slot" and the front sight screw. This is not extremely recoil proof, and if used with heavy .357 loads could shear off the front sight mount screw, (yes, it happened to me). The alternative is to have your -3 drilled and tapped, (but not all the way through the top strap). It takes a good gunsmith/machinist to do this.
