I think if one were able to work up loads & shoot 10 examples of each of the different makes/models, you would find that on average, the Ruger was the most accurate, also the ugliest :lol: . That being said, the most accurate revolver I've owned and there have been many, is a cheaply made Navyarms 51 Navy. I would be lucky to get a couple hundred rounds through that gun with out something going wrong but it produced the tightest bench groups I've seen from a C&B.
To answere the original poster, it's really a crap-shoot with the repros as far as getting an accurate gun, a good place to start is a well made Remington - (2nd ugliest gun :wink:)- , just get an 1860 and have fun.
