I'm under the opinion that a regular built either by Pietta, Uberti or the 2nd and 3rd Generation Colts can be as accurate as any run-of-the mill Remington or Rogers and Spencer. And in my limited experience my 2nd Generation Colt was by far more accurate than my Pietta Remingtons. However, unlike the Colt or open tops. there are just so many more ways that the Remington and the Rogers & Spencer can be improved upon taking them to another higher league. Those options are just not available for the Colts.
