Navy arms hawken hunter

[paulragan]

Any Navy arms fans out there ? I currently hunt with a hawken hunter .58 and occasionally my Buffalo hunter, 110 gr 3f , 575 round ball and tight patch produces exceptional accuracy out of the hawkens, and 65 gr. Swiss 1.5 and an old shilo mould .582 Minnie at 530 gr out of the Buffalo hunter. Love my old navy arms.

i like the Navy Arms rifles: Bought a nice .50 caliber Navy Arms Hawken that had a roached bore. Mr. Hoyt bored it out to .54 caliber with rounded grooves and 1/56 " twist. Firing patched round balls, that rifle makes 1 1/4-1 1/2" five shot groups at 78 yards.

I’ve always wanted one of those, especially after reading about the owner of navy arms adventures in Africa. They are a little heavy for the average deer hunt though. You should post some pictures of your rifle.
