    Sighting in my Traditions Hawken Kit

    These kits catch a lot of flak online, but the performance doesn't look too bad to me. I'm starting with the .490 round all and .015 patching with 50 grains of swiss. It's a loose load, but nice for plinking

    CLOSED CVA .54 Hawken Barrel

    I have my original 1995 CVA St. Louis Hawken in .50 and I am looking for a .54 barrel for it. Mine is 15/16, 28” long, and has a button tang (rather than a hook tang). For illustrative purposes only, my Hawken is the rifle on the bottom in the pictures below.

    So I picked up this CVA Hawken and... Well, now what?

    Hello folks! I've been lurking and learning from everyone here, but I definitely want your advice and expertise on this new old piece. I'm a waterfowler, love shotgunning sports and really only shoot rifles at things I can eat most of the time... But I got bitten by the smoke pole bug and am...

    I would like to identify this sight on my T/C Hawken

    Hi I'm curious what anybody has to say about this rear sight on my T/C 50cal.Hawken. Haven't had it very long. Seems to be for distances not close range, shoots high in the 25to50 yard range. Is it a normal rear sight for this gun? (I haven't seen this sight before) Front sight seems to be the...

    PA Conicals vs Maxi-balls?

    Hi all, My 1:48 TC Hawken (.50 cal) doesn’t seem to shoot PRB particularly well after many patch/lube/powder combinations. Accuracy isn’t horrible but looking for better. Would like to experiment with either the 240 grain Hornady PA Conicals, or the 370 grain TC Maxi-balls next. Anyone have...

    Your opinions on caliber

    Recently I discovered a T/C Hawken 50 cal sitting in a pawn shop. It appeared in rough shape, but they really wanted to get rid of it and we made a really good deal. Finish on the stock was rough, dented and such, but after stripping the poly off, doing a sanded finish and hitting the brass...

    Ted Fellows 50 Hawken Barrel tang not seating?

    Hi everyone, I have an issue with my 50 Hawken. I took the barrel off the stock ( I've done this before with no issues for deep cleaning etc.) And when I reassembled it the rear tang that is counter sunk into the stock sits up 1/8 inch or so. Not sure what to do here as the point is sharp and I...

    FOR SALE CVA Hawken Hunter .50 Caliber

    I have for sale a CVA Hunter (hawken without the patchbox?) in .50 Caliber. It does not appear to have been shot (or is really clean if it has), the barrel is like new on the inside. Everything seems to function as it should. Cosmetically it is a project as the barrel has the blotchy finish of a...
