Title: CVA Hawken shutting up the snobs!
Post by: MountainDevil54 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....
