My first was/is a custom built left hand .62 cal percussion by Mike Adkins out of Arkansas, modeled after a Hawken that resides in the Firearms Museum in Cody, WY. That was in 1992 after I met make at one of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation camps. It is a great shooter that has accounted for two elk and one Muley plus lots of cans, boxes, targets and dirt clods, all for fun. I still have that wonderful rifle but it "forced" my transition to flinters for which I am eternally grateful.
