I had a pair of '58s that I stupidly sold a couple years ago, and am thinking of getting another pair. Do any of you folks have experience with the ones offered with the 5.5" barrel? Cabellas has the stainless Pietta ones on sale now and they look like they might make a nicely balance rig.

Not a Remington, but I used to have an Uberti 5 1/2" 51 navy that I modified the hammer spur on to resemble Elner Keith's #5, and sweated a set of sights on the barrel.The shorter barrel balanced well, and with sights that were regulated and visible it was very accurate.
