Great looking buck. Love those long brows.

Shot an antelope doe at 95-105 yards this year with a .530 roundball out of my plains rifle. Worked very well. Shot a 5 gallon bucket at 200 yards with the same rig and centered it on second shot. First shot just missed high. Last years whitetail at 22 yards was much more comforting.

Sold pending funds to Ed.

It is a 1" across the flats barrel.

Yes it is a 28 twist. I bought it new and it fits my T/C Renegade perfectly.

Green Mountain Long Range Hunter. 50 caliber and setup for conicals or sabots. Have fired around 35 rounds of no excuses bullets through it. Will include a full box of 460 grain no excuses with the barrel. Shot a black bear with this one and small amount of blood took off a bit of finish on side...

I prefer furry rests for the rifle when I can find them. Lord willing, that 58 may find something furry come fall. If not, I reckon barbed wire will do.

Lot of great looking rifles on this thread. I have been using a right-handed Hawken type rifle in 54 for the last few years. Kept wanting to find something left-handed. Found this 58 caliber Hawken recently and with only a 1" wide barrel, it sure carries and shoots fine. This will be my...

I've shot two bedded. Two of my more favorite memories actually.

Congrats, great to see the daughters out hunting.

Got this guy on the eastern plains of CO this October. .530 roundball at 22 yards from the Hawken did him in. It was a very enjoyable afternoon. Had coyotes yapping, sandhill cranes were migrating like crazy, pheasants cackling in the tall prairie grass, and of course whitetails playing in the corn.

Tried shooting it out about 8 times. For some reason the gas is escaping around the jag and I cannot get it to fire out. I have cleaned barrel well and pulled nipple and soaked that area with oil. Will contact the smith referenced and get this fixed up. Frustrating but will learn and move on...

Hello, Got a new stainless 45 LRH barrel from Green Mountain last fall and finally got around to shooting it. I am new to 45s, and have shot a few 50s and 54s over the years. Anyways, went back to shooting ffg blackpowder and figured I would swab the bore after first two shots. Those 2 by the...

Hawk Driver, My experience was the same as Walks with Fire. Loads of 80 to 90 grains with Hornady 410 grain conicals shot well. Had a bear last year at 18 yards broadside on a water hole and it never took a step. Fine barrel. Bought a closeout fast twist stainless 45 barrel from them over the...
