new barrel question

[jparsons]

I have a hawken with a 15/16 lands and a renegade with 1" lands which would be better to put a 54 cal barrel and would the hawken stock hould up to the 54 cal. thanks for any information anyone can give.

Yes the Hawkin will hold up just fine with the 54.

Which is better? :idunno: Six of one, Half Dozen of the other.

The 15/16 will be lighter, I think the choice would be which stock fit's you best or what's more comfortable for you.

Kinda depends on what you want for overall weight as well as muzzle weight. The 1" will be heavier and will feel a lot more muzzleheavy.

Stock design figures too. Hooked butts are good for some and not for others. I like em, but not the high comb on the Hawken. I also like guns with a little less muzzle weight.

No probs on the stock holding up to 54. I shoot my 1" Hawken all the time with 58 and 62 cal barrels.
