Which 1858 Remington to get

[ZUG]

I prefer the Uberti guns over Pietta. The fit and finish is much better. If price is an issue go Pietta.

Dimensionally, the Pietta is the closest. But, Uberti wins overall because they hide most of the modern markings under the loading lever.

2023 and on Piettas have a dovetailed front sight now.

My opinion that nobody asked for.
“You get what you pay for”.
Ubertis are about $100 more than Piettas.
Enough said.
Enjoy your Pietta, i hear they shoot well.

Mine is a '71 date code as well. Unsure of how much the PO shot it, but I've put about 150 rounds through it. Wonder how close ours came off the line? (I've found the Porsches that were made on the other side of my '65 356C coupe, be cool to find a gun sibling)

I think stainless looks a lot like an old gun with no finish.

True, unless you polish them!
Mine are Uberti.
If I were to get one today, I would get the Pedersoli custom version. It is the most accurate right out of the box. 2X expensive as the Uberti though, and it only comes in matte black these days.
Midway has them in stock recently!

I was thinking of getting an 1858. Who make the most historically accurate reproduction in comparison to an original?

Nice, but I hate the visible warnings.

My Uberti has it on the underside of the barrel, hidden by the loading lever.

8” blued. Fixed sights.

Historically correct, good sight radius and velocity. Beautiful guns.

I like Piettas but Remington makes a solid one too.

That Pedersoli sure is nice!

From what i have seen Pre 2020 made ones seem good. Post 2020 are all over the place quality wise. Uberti does a better job.

Remington is making these again?

I would put my two Piettas up against any Uberti ! Mine are excellent in every way. OM 2012, NM 2023 both work perfectly and the fit and finish is excellent.

What year is yours from? Is there a known cut-over or were years mixed production?
