Never seen one of these before. CVA shotgun on a Hawken stock. Anyone know the story?

If memory serves, these came with a .50 caliber barrel and the 12 gauge was the drop-in so one could have a smoothy too.

mine came with a 54cal. LOVE this sucker! I'd easily slap a $350-375 price tag on that one.

Could not resist so I bought it. Having trouble finding chokes for it. Seems to be an old style of Winchoke. Do you have any suggestions?

not sure on choke. Mine is factory choke set up. I took my first BP grouse at 40 yards this September. What a blast!

Some videos of mine. Right now I used 70gr shockeys gold super powder and 1 1/8oz # 7 1/2 shot. Patterns great out to as much as 50 yards. For turkey i'd use a heavier load.
