Thank you. I have to admit, though, that the Hawken is only a year old, and hasn't seen any hunting use (yet). I built the Tennessee Mountain Rifle in the early to mid 1980's, and only hunted with it a very few times. Took a couple of deer with it, but that's about it. They are leading very pampered lives compared to what their forebears of the 19th century must have led. But, then again, so am I...
