A Hawken rifle of 7 - 8 pounds would be one of the "Squirrel" rifles of 40 or 45 caliber, not a Plains rifle as many would expect.
I have seen a Gemmer rifle of 45 caliber which has the slimmed down architecture of a Plains rifle that would do very nicely.
As stated above, the Hawken is a very complex rifle that looks oh, so simple.

The Lyman GPR is what 10lbs? But, woo doggie, I was surgical with that thing off hand. Lord have mercy, I don't know why I let it get away. So what's another pound or so? Kibler Hawken you say? I'm in, where's that waiting list. I MUCH prefer easily removing the barrel for cleaning. So I'm a huge fan wedges and hooked breech. And I too would much rather buy from US! Anyone ever ask how much of his kits are U.S. supplied / produced? I'm sure it's 100%, but curious nonetheless.
