Default Ardesa Hawken Match & Hawken Creedmore

These look to be 2 new types of Hawken with 1 in 20" twists and 32 inch barrels.

very nice looking rifles.. Ardesa is or used to be part of Traditions I believe.. I am not sure if they still are.

They might still be.. if you go to their site and look at their rifles and then compare them to Traditions.. well they are very close.

They're still making them for Traditions andare licensed to distribute some Traditions guns in Europe.
Someone commented that these will stabilze some looong bullets. A shooter might need a shoulder pad with those curved buttplates though.

People shooting with those butt plates often hold them wrong. They treat' em like a centerfire with a rubber recoil pad.

While I think the curved butt stock is cool, you really need to pay attention to where you tuck that rifle in to. It can down right hurt...
