Your scope for the Diamondback might be a more fair trade. I always liked the Colts looks, they did a great job with the blueing but that said the one for trade is a shooter and the visual appeal is gone. The Diamondback was a good shooter but not a great shooter and the double action trigger was never a high point in the reviews.
But if your done with the rifle and really want the pistol its the path of least resistance to your goal.
