This morning, 1 US dollar is 0.6842 Euros, or 1 Euro is $1.4615.
Thus 239 Euros is 1.4615*239=$349.39
$165 is 0.6842*165=112.89 Euros. Pretty close to 113 Euros.
 
Well ...the Cabelas 169.00 price was just too good to let fly by ...I called and ordered one this morning ...do I need it ...NO I`ve got 5 1858`s already ...this will make it an even number 6 . I`ve also been thinking of cutting the barrel down to 3 inches on one of my older ones to make a snub nose 45 with the conversion cylinder ...might be a nice winter project . Guys they still have them and that price is still good . I noticed one on Gunbroker for 250.00 the price keeps going up never down ...get them while they last .check it outhttp://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=92319695

these remmingtons, are they the brass frame or the steel frames at Cabelas? I already own 3 Piettas but whats one more. I,d prefer the shorter barrel as I already have a 7.5 and a 12 inch. Probably going to convert 45 long clt and use as saddle gun.
 
Thx again for your great advise. I have ordered an remington 1858 from Uberti today. It should arrive in 2 weeks.:D I will report when I have got my new sixgun.:cool:
 
Yep steel framed 44 cal 8inch barrel ...1858 Remington...I just couldn`t resist the price ...good greif I don`t know how many is enough ...well when I saw the add on gunbroker ..I thought ..can`t go wrong . I think the first one I bought from Cabelas years ago was 179.00
 
Can anyone post a catalouque number for these 58 Remington's on sale at Cabellas. That would jelp out when calling in to order one. Thanks

I got one of the Cabellas 1858 Navys a year ago. It's been decent. If I had it to do over again I probably would have gone for one of the stainless ones. While not being period correct, I wouldn't have to clean it as fast after shooting.
 
I just ordered One from Cabellas. I could not bring it up at that price on my computer. I called it in, and was told they are indeed on sale at $169.99. Mine will arrive on the 25th of March. I think it will be a minor investment at that price, the way prices on goods are going. Just keep it NIB unshot.

Got so excited, today, that my wallet ran down my leg. While it was out, it called Cabela’s and ordered another ’58 (due to arrive, on the 25th). The first has the target sights and will be mated to a shoulder stock (also on order). Since this one will function as a sidearm only, the standard blade will do just fine.

The salesman, on the other end of Cabela’s ordering line, wasn’t sure about there being a sale on the revolver. So, initially, there was a lot of hemming and hawing. But soon’s he heard the stock number, Pancho had provided, he found the right ad.

Well, that’s two. Should be covered for a while, right? Right?
 
Gee think Cabelas will send me a comission check ?? LOL .. Really we couldn`t go wrong with that price , heck sell it latter for what ya paid for it .
I bet some folks bought more than one , to sell latter .
