    CVA Hawken Shooting High

    So i filed down the notch in the rear sight to make it deeper and went out to the range again today. I also got ahold of some 777 ffg as opposed to fffg and My first second and third shots were at 25 yards and were all dead on, all three punched a raggeed hole off of the tripod. Went back to...

    CVA Hawken Shooting High

    I have the same sights as you, and I have the rear sight ALL the way down, AND the front sight is same old same old, so I dont know what to do afterwards. I guess I'm really going to just have to buy another sight.

    CVA Hawken Shooting High

    I was by no means implying that I have an underpowered gun, I am fairly certain that the .530 roundball with 80 grains 777 would be quite a contender with my 460 S&W with 300 Grain bullets. I was mearly saying that if I cant solve the problem with where the bullet hits then i will make sure...

    CVA Hawken Shooting High

    Thanks Paul, I'm shooting the gun every day for the exact same reason. I'll try having a friend shoot it. I'm pretty familiar with iron sights on centerfire rifles because thats mainly all I shoot. I cannot for the life of me figure out whats going on, and I'd hate to retire the gun before I...

    CVA Hawken Shooting High

    I have a .54 CVA hawken that I built from a kit recently and I absolutely love it. Its a nice shooter, The only problem with the CVA is that although horizontal shooting is fine, i get about 3 inch groups, no matter where I move the adjustable sight, I'm 3" high at 30 yards, 5" high at 50 yards...

    powder for a .54???

    I shoot triple seven fffg out of my 28" CVA Hawken and it does quite well. When I get a chance I will shoot ffg just to try it but for the time being fffg is all that I have and it does me fine

    r.e.a.l. bullets

    When You cast your own conicals, what kind of lube do you buy to fill those rings? I'm told that the lube helps reduce lead fowling and so Now I'm curious.

    Wally world Ticking

    Today I bought #40 cotton drill without a micrometer because people say it works. I tried a few shots with it and whadayaknow IT WORKS! so dont be as focused with the width if you can get a small piece and shoot it and if it shoots good then buy some more. If it doesnt shoot good then try...

    How Long??

    Osage, Thats about the best reply I've gotten, I've seen five mountain Lions on My property alone, and many of the people I know that hunt have had their fair share of encounters. Not to mention a valley and a half over is where our school has done research on the 23 mountain lions in the area...

    How Long??

    I am thinking about getting a new rifle to my collection but it will be almost strictly for hunting and minor "shoots" shooting besides from the day to day shooting at the house. Green Mountain sells barrels in 36" and 42" lengths and I cant possibly imagine carrying a gun with a 42" barrel...

    Traditions .32 Deerhunter Kit?

    My gun has the fiber optic sights, but I ordered my gun at least 3 years ago, so i dont know if anything has changed but when I ordered it the only option was fiber optic sights. I love my little .32 though and its a great shooter

    Traditions .32 Deerhunter Kit?

    I am fifteen as well, and my first muzzleloader was a Traditions .32 Deerhunter and I love that little gun. It is very much worth your time to own, mine shoots great and has less recoil than a .22. I Just recently completed a CVA .54 cal hawken and that was my first kit, and once you get that...

    H&B Forge

    I love throwing hawks, ( I have two) But I wanted to start getting into throwing knives, and I was wondering how you felt about the throwing knife from H&B Forge, and since you cant just get a knife without a Hawk I was looking at the medium sized camp axe, Is this a good place to get a Hawk...

    What have YOU Built?

    Haven't really seen this before, But what have you built before in the past? Not any specific model, just maybe a description and a few pics would be cool. I've been thinking about building another rifle and would possibly like some ideas.

    New .54

    VERY beautiful Rifle there Captain! I understand a lot of work is involved in a rifle from Pecatonica and I am considering my hand at one. Which rifles of theirs have you completed and which one did you enjoy working on the most? Again a very beautiful rifle to be proud of. :bow: :bow...

    Leman Fullstock Rifle

    Thank you VERY MUCH. Like I said this would replace my CVA kit rifle AFTER hunting season (it will be my first season with a M/L so if I really like It I'm gonna go for it) When you ask Dick to do the little bit of extra work, does he cut the hole for the trigger? And The CVA kit was fun but I...

    Leman Fullstock Rifle

    What all do one of the kits entail in terms of work? Do you have to make the threading for the breech plug and (on percussion) make the threading for the drum?
