Just bought a new 1858 - SS and target sights

[piettakid]

8 inch barrel of course. It's a beauty. I think it looks better than my SS ROA. Haven't shot it yet. Only complaint is the loading lever is kinda loose and when unlatched it falls thru a full 90 degrees.

Cabela's is selling these right now for $400 - $100 below normal price. No shipping charge and just a 3% tax. $412 and UPS brings it to your door.

What i really want is a SS 5.5 inch barrel but i've given up on finding that.

How about this one,

Remingtons shoot very close to POA out of the box so the dovetailed front sight should be all you need to get her hitting dead on.

i packed a blue .44 cal 58 rem C&B revolver when hunting groundhogs and shot quite a few from 4 feet to 15 yards when walking out to check a shot from my rifle. for a walking around BP revolver i to prefer the 58 rem over the ROA, but for hunting larger animals i use the ROA.

That's an uberti not a pietta. And i bet they don't have any.

Yea, I'm not aware of a short barreled model with adj sights. You'd have to shorten it yourself or add the sight.

 

[Crawdad1]

Did you call them? Put it on backorder because its exactly what you said you wanted.

All basic Piettas will have fixed sight only their 'Shooter's' or 'Target' models have adjustable sights. All the new Ubertis even their basic models have adjustable sights. And they're period correct.

Midwayusa has them as well, though they are out of stock without backorder

S.s. 1858

Taylors has Uberti with 5.5 barrel in stainless for about the same price you payed for the Pietta.

Yeah i know that, and that means they don't have any and don't expect to get then anytime soon.

Someone else said that and i might buy one IF they actually have them. I doubt they do.

But i'd rather stick with pietta so i can easily swap cylinders among my 1858s.

I can certainly understand that, but good luck with your target model and tell us how it shoots!!!
