Finally, the Remington. This is the classic competition gun and
comes in .36 and .44. For some reason I've never quite fathomed, the
.44 is the almost universal choice for target work. Again, Pedersoli
and Euroarms make good examples, but the cheaper end of the Euroarms
range can be quite badly fitted. The
Pedersoli guns I've looked at have really fine triggers right out of
the box, whereas the bottom end of the Euroarms range don't. The one
pictured here is an ancient cheap Italian .36 replica with a brass
frame - make sure to buy a steel framed one for serious usage.
Of course, if you have pots of money or just want something a little
special, you could look at
Hege
who make superb quality Remington replicas at a price to match.
Whichever you choose, at the end of the day it's all down to
personal choice. Remember that some of the cheaper guns can be quite
dreadfully fitted, hammers dragging on the frame all the way down
and ragged trigger pulls are the order of the day, so buying quality
does pay. At the moment I'd say Pedersoli offer the best value for
money, particularly if your local dealer's prepared to haggle; and
why shouldn't you haggle, if they aren't keeping stock they don't
deserve a fat margin!
