I have been wanting a .58 caliber Hawken type rifle for some time. Recently, I sold an unmentionable rifle that I had not fired or used in over 30 years to a deer hunter up in Maine. If you live up that way you can probably figure out what it was. Anyway, I used the proceeds to order this .58 from George Nelson in Minnesota. It was delivered this week. It has a 36" Rice match-grade barrel, and a little better than plain Maple stock, but not over the top curl. I also requested a full buckhorn rear sight, and browned iron furniture. TOW has a couple of his rifles on their site if you want to see some other examples.
