Navy arms hawken hunter

paulragan · Oct 18, 2024

Any Navy arms fans out there ? I currently hunt with a hawken hunter .58 and occasionally my Buffalo hunter, 110 gr 3f , 575 round ball and tight patch produces exceptional accuracy out of the hawkens, and 65 gr. Swiss 1.5 and an old shilo mould .582 Minnie at 530 gr out of the Buffalo hunter. Love my old navy arms.

i like the Navy Arms rifles: Bought a nice .50 caliber Navy Arms Hawken that had a roached bore. Mr. Hoyt bored it out to .54 caliber with rounded grooves and 1/56 " twist. Firing patched round balls, that rifle makes 1 1/4-1 1/2" five shot groups at 78 yards.

I’ve always wanted one of those, especially after reading about the owner of navy arms adventures in Africa. They are a little heavy for the average deer hunt though. You should post some pictures of your rifle.

Sorry about the poor quality pics, my hawken hunter is on the bottom and my Buffalo hunter is on the chair

This is the first 50 yard 5 shot group fired from my re-bored Navy Arms rifle;

I have two or three of their Hurricane Hunter .50 rifles. I really want a .58 Hunter to round out the collection but haven't found the right one yet.

I really don’t understand why folks don’t like these rifles as much as T/c or even cva. They in my opinion are atleast as good if not better than cva of the same era. I have a new in box navy arms hawken I have tried to sell for 250.00 and got zero interest. I can bring myself to take any less. They are definitely a great value for what they generally sell for.

They are excellent rifles and built strong. I had a hawken hurricane and that was a super sweet rig.

You can have my Buffalo Hunter when you pry it from my cold dead hands! .570 patched ball over 70 grains of 3f pretty much takes care of anything with 4 legs. I gave mine a facelift a few years ago!
