Miroku Hawken 50 value?

[Heat]

Saw a Ultra Hi by Miroku Hawken at the store today. Looked like it was in excellent condition. Can anyone share a ballpark estimate for fair retail price in a store?

I have one I've been shooting for 40 years . I wouldn't hesitate to go deer hunting with it . . I can't give you a dollar amount because I don't see them sell to be able to use for a comparison. I have bought CVA rifles in the 75-150 dollar range in the last couple years. So what was the store asking for it ?

The Miroku Hawken rifles were not a high end, but very much at the entry level of traditional muzzleloading. As such there shouldn't be a premium price on them now. @Ferryboatcaptain's price range seems about right to me. The rifles performed well enough for hunting and enjoying the traditional muzzleloading experience.

Ya they want $800 for it. Seems "a little" high to me. They called it a Browning, LOL!

I'm thinking that would be a lowball offer, I have seen many MLs in a shootable condition I wouldn't give at least 100-150 for. I've never liked CVAs or TCs mainly because they just look authentic enough but they're still good shooters.

Are those barrel's made in Japan ? I didn't know Miroku was such a low budget gun. Nothing wrong with low budget sometime's its not bad I guess.

Miroku in general is a high quality maker; don't know about this specific rifle, but the metal is sure to be high quality.

I would think they made all the parts but don't know for sure .

Hard to say anymore.

My other post is way late so I'll say it again. They wanted $800 for it. Made in Japan. It is a much nicer gun than the TC Hawken .50 I bought for $300. I guess I got ripped off on that one if you guys are saying the nicer one is only worth $150? No doubt the condition and build quality was higher on the Miroku.

They can ask anything they want .Doesn't mean they will get it. The TC rifle is probably a good one and you can still get parts if you need them. FBC

i don't know where those 100-150 dollar rifles are. you did ok on the TC for 300. the Jap Hawken is over priced but they are nice.

I think if you paid that for the TC Hawkin in .50 cal and it shoots ok for you you didn't get ripped off.
Some guys are just super cheap. I'd buy a good TC Hawkin for that price if I needed one.
