beautiful! But expensive

[frontier gander]

check out this Hawkens from cabelas! Man is that beautiful! The only thing i'd redo on it is the ugly color case hardened butt plate and trimmings. But other than that, thats a gorgeous rifle! Better be too for the price.

Yep, she's a beauty! I'd love one!

I saw that and another one called a Gibbs in the new Cabela's Shooting Magazine they sent me. Both are beautiful rifles, just the price tag is a little more then I wanted to pay.

I just saw the Gibbs reproduction. I didn't know Pedersoli made a Gibbs. Oh my! I would love to own one. Would any one consider purchasing me one for my birthday?

That's what I thought. A guy definetely needs a range which stretches 500 yards in order to justify this rifle. It wouldn't be right to take her tothe 75-150 yard stretches I've been going to shoot. A rifle like that needs to stretch her legs. Amazingly, the 535 grain .451 conical it is designed to shoot is not legal in Colorado for hunting Elk even in rifle season.

That is true, but with the right powder charge I see no reason why that large conical would not knock the snot out of anything it hit.

I would love a rifle like that if I had a long open field for shooting. That would be a great way to spend the day, sitting at a table shooting out to 600+ yards at objects with the open sights. Varmint hunting would be a blast.

If someone wants to buy Pglasgow one, and they have a few spare dollars left, put me down for one as well.

This is no doubt true. We just need you to convince our state regulators of that so the White .451 owners can bring their rifles out for the elk rifle seasons. Regs don't always make sense. Sometimes they are just regs.
