My new Hawken!
« on: September 02, 2019, 05:17:10 PM »
I received my new Hawken rifle at rendezvous this weekend.  :applaud
 
First the stats; 

Rice barrel, 54 cal. 1-66 twist, one inch at the breech tapering to 7/8 inch at the muzzle, length 31 & 5/8 inches.

Davis lock and set triggers.

A plank of nicely figured sugar maple.

It weighs 8 pounds and balances perfectly between my hands.

I shot it at the rendezvous, off-hand, loaded with 60 grains and 80 grains of 2-f Goex.  She is a sweet shooter!

Range work will commence soon, depending on how the doves are flying. 

And it came in under budget too!

Shoots good AND under budget AND looks great?  Better buy some lottery tickets, my friend, you are on a streak.  That has to be one of the prettiest pieces of wood I have seen lately.  WOW.  Mighty nice!!!!!
