Okay looking for advice again. I'm looking for a bp c&b revolver. I'm leaning towards a repro of a 58 Rem. Looks more substantial. Any opinions here?

Also, there's a couple of companies that make them. I'm leaning towards a Pietta as 1) I've heard good things about them and 2) the grips are a little larger and fit the hands a little better. Keeping in mind I'm looking for a shooter and price does matter does anyone have any experience with these here pieces?

Go with the Remington, Solid Frame! I have seen a few Colts that have loosened up over time and lost accuracy and the safety factor.

If you want to shoot a remington, let me know we have a shoot at the end of October at Springtown if you can make it. Oct 21-23

For a shooter? Remington or Rogers & Spencer.

Which one? How serious are you, and how much are you willing to spend? You get what you pay for.
