cva hawken value

[wyatt243]

I was wondering what a cva hawken in .50 cal would be worth a local gun shop has one for $150 it is in real good condition.I have wanted a hawken for a while but have never seen a cva always t.c. Thanx in advance to everyone.

If it is in Real good shape it is probably worth the $150, but i would try to talk them down at least $25 on it.

 

[wyatt243]

are they a good gun or should i hold out for the t.c.

Most of the CVA's are real accurate shooters. The caplock are pretty good, but they had some problems with their flintlocks. You could probably find a T/C on one of the Auctions or maybe even in the classifieds here for not a whole lot more. And T/C's do have a lifetime warranty. But for the money the CVA should be a good gun, especially if you can talk the shop down to $200-$225.

I have two of the St Louis hawkens. The one has killed three deer with the 50 barrel, Have 50&54 barrels for both, the other one has killed seven deer with 54 barrel. Two over 100yrds with RB. I paid 170.00 as a kit from Mid-South a few years back,over 15. But I got two barrels. You wont buy one with one barrel now for. 150.oo sounds fair. These are cap locks. Dilly

Agree with others on CVA, about $125, if in very good condition.

A v.g. used T/C would be my first choice.

Have fun however you decide!

I would save a few extra bucks and get a good used TC. You wont regret it and it will hold its value.

I don't regret a bit buying my CVA.50, it will shoot as good if not outshoot my buddys TC's if I do my part.
