The thread on the '58 Remington had me searching through various forums to see how other people in other countries rate the various revolvers. Its more important to those guys overseas as there is less restrictions on black powder revolvers.
Here is some interesting stuff from across the pond concerning Remington and Rogers & Spencer competition revolvers.
It is time to take a step further and analyze the most employed models and we will do it in the order that the author of this work considers should be in function of their quality or sporting interest, and that will not necessarily coincide with the opinion of other shooters with experience. In this it is possible that appear models that no longer occur, but still exist in the market of occasion and therefore are weapons to take into account in the sport.
Remington HEGE "Army Match Maximun". We considered it to be one of the best as far as sports shooting is concerned, although they had some defect in materials and mechanical performance due to over adjustment and low tolerances. It is not the most faithful reply, but one of the most used in international competitions. Produced by Feinwerkbau. We do not know if it is still in production, but we think it is out of print. They can even be obtained in the market of occasion. Its price when it was for sale oscillated around the 1000 euros (see +). Oversized grip. High performance.
Roger & Spencer "History N2" by FEINWERKBAU. Massive and blunt, perhaps the best Rogers ever made. In spite of the sporting disadvantages of this model of revolver, the Feinwerkbau clearly imposes itself, even to the best Remington. It is one of the classics in international competitions. The accuracy and fidelity are high, as its price, which oscillates around the 1400 euros. It has always been in the hands of the best shooters and top international positions. High performance.
Remington HEGE 1858 Lothar Walther Special. It is the current bet of Hege by a model of price much more content, around the 600 euros. The main difference lies in the materials and adjustments, with all that this means in the final quality. The trigger mechanism and aiming elements are unbeatable and perfectly adapted to the precision shot. Oversized grip. High performance and price content.
Remington New Model Army "special shooters" PIETTA. Currently still in production with the reference of Pietta RDT 44. In the 90s was not denominated in the same way, simply the generic name of the replica, and its price was more contained. The current name of "special shooters" was to give it some added value by improving the settings of the trigger system and drift adjustable sight. It is the only model with progressive striation similar to the original model. In contrast, the parts that make up the trigger mechanism are not exact to the original model, although their operation is correct. Acceptable revolver, but with more pretensions than benefits. Price around 750 euros.
Remington "pattern" PEDERSOLI. It is a fairly acceptable replica to start in the sports shooting, but whose price is not related to the final quality of materials and adjustments. The royal pier is excessively weak for a construction in which the economy has prevailed over fidelity, both in form and performance. If we want to use it in high competition, there are many improvements that will need, similar to the lower priced models. Handle oversized and not allowed in the European 2011 held in Hamina-Finland (forced to lower them in order to compete). Revolver with more pretension than performance. Price around 750 euros.
