That is a beauty!  :tup:
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

Wow, that is beautiful!  Can't wait to see some paper from the range!  I'd love to do a project like that someday (and then bring some meat home with it!)

Awesome looking work.......    :tup: :tup: 

I hunted with a Hawken for about 20 years, until my wife bought me an inline and I went to the dark side....

Sometimes I miss that rifle.

Had to order a taller blade sight as the rear is calibrated for a .400" tall front sight. One minor thing I over looked  :o

Some newer pics I took the other day,

90gr Schuetzen with a .562" round ball didn't shoot that great with this powder but at least it reacts the same way my other twin of this rifle does! Huge comfort once I switched to a much tighter .575" ball with a .015" patch. Only 2 shots as I am out of the .575's now.

That looks GREAT!
I just picked up an old stock, CVA kit Hawkins.  Has both the 50 and 54 barrels.

How long did it take you to build it?
