I'm looking for my first gun kit and found one from Dixie I thought I'd start with. It's the Hawken Rifle kit (PK0516) sold for $240. My main goal is to have a research gun to practice more advanced techniques on before trying them on future guns. Such as engraving and inlaying. So this isn't going to be an heirloom piece, but I want a rife that is made with quality parts so I can also do ballistic testing. Does anyone have any reasons why I shouldn't start with this rifle?

Thanks,

Michael

Thompson/Center offers a "Hawken" kit for $319.00. It is almost certainly made from higher quality parts than the Dixie model and should have a better guarantee. In the long run, its value will remain higher.
