Thanks guys! I am picking up the rifle tomorrow. I decided to go with the Hawkens. I can't wait to try it out at the range. I will make sure and spend plenty of time at the range before taking it out to hunt.
I like how you have so many variables to adjust on these guns. I know it will take time to know what works best but that is part of the fun. I may even try my hand at casting some bullets down the road.
