I have a CVA Hawken that I bought about 10 years ago. It’s not your everyday CVA and is an attempt to put a little of the best that was appealing to me at that time into this rifle.
1. Wood is walnut and not beechwood.
2. Changed over the sights to silver blade front and full buckhorn rear.
3. Metal nosecap polished to silver color.
4. lock bolt escutcheon’s silver.
5. Silver Patch Box like the CVA Mnt. Rifle instead of the standard brass.
6. Replaced the cheap wedge key escutcheon’s that were the standard CVA brass to Silver TC escutcheon’s.
7. Has the later model CVA Lock which is better quality than the earlier one.
8. Has a Hawken Hunter barrel which has never had a ball fired through it. 1:48 twist rate. Bore is Mirror bright!
9. Rifle has never been fired!
I’ll stop there and say it’s a very nice rifle and definitely one of a kind. I’m thinning out my collection of muzzleloader’s that never see the light of day and this is one of my earlier projects.
Anyway, enough said. I’m asking $375 shipped to your door in the lower 48.
Respectfully, Cowboy
