I have a Thompson Center Hawken Cleland Match Rifle for sale. There were not many made and supposedly were developed by TC Team Shooter Chad Cleland. They are built on a Hawken 1" barrel stock and have a 1" ATF .40 caliber, 31" long barrel. The rear sight is a slightly different TC Hawken style and the front is a standard TC blade. I have only seen one other Cleland rear sight and it differed from this one only in that it had a different elevation screw. I don't know what the standard elevation screw is supposed to be or if they came in different versions. The windage screw on this one and the other are the same, with a knurled knob. The double set trigger on this one is different from a standard TC, but I don't know anything about it. It looks a lot like a Davis and is very nice.

There are a few minor dings on the wood and brass that should show in the photos. Nothing bad though. The bore is great with no pitting or rust, but I could not get a decent picture. Mr. Cleland supposedly shot a .400 ball over 65 grains of FFFg powder out of his rifle, but I can't verify that and I have not developed a load for this one. I only shot it so that I could say I did. This rifle does have a signed patch box that is shown in the photo's.

I am asking $1,300 plus full insured shipping through the USPS. I estimate insured shipping to be $75. I take USPS Money Orders or debit/credit cards (with the 3.5% fee) as payment.

I will consider partial trades for the following. TC Cherokee's, Seneca's, Hawken's or maybe Renegades. I am in need of Green Mountain (round ball) drop in barrels or TC Round Ball (custom shop) barrels for these rifles also. Unmolested TC kits would be an interest also. One thing I do not need is 45 caliber. Flintlock versions are really wanted.

Please ask if you have any questions or need additional pictures.

You don’t see to many of these. I found one about 4 years ago at a local gun store. They shoot nice

Bob, what type of elevation screw does yours have?

Thought someone on here would want this one, but it is not looking like it. Will probably remove it tonight and move it to GB.
