CVA Hawken shutting up the snobs!
« on: February 01, 2015, 10:32:31 AM »
I did this about 4-5 days ago with my CVA Hawken .58cal 1:66 twist at 100 yards. I hear so much about how these old guns are "$100" rifles not worth a snot and not accurate in any way. After 2 years of owning the rifle and trying my best on multiple occasions, I finally pulled it off at 100 yards on camera!  :IBCOOL:

I lubed these patches ( Minuteman patch lube) about 3 months ago and they were just nasty nasty for accuracy as they were to slippery. They dried out enough and with a light swabbing job between each shot, Accuracy was welllll....

 :dunno: was there a picture? a video? a target?

Hey MD- was there a photo of a group on paper?  Glad to hear you have this dialed in.

Good shooting, I've shot traditional round ball rifles for 40 years, I'll match them up with anybody's inline with iron sights.  My eyes aren't quite as good as they used to be any more though.
And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
 He made wide open spaces from the start
 He made grass and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend
 And trails to lead ol' cowboys home again
