The Cabelas Hawkins is a good rifle, I own the same rifle bought from Dixie Gun Works, its made by Ivestarms, the same folks that make the Lymans. Dixie has them in flint as well. I own five left handed muzzleloaders, all of them non-custom, so left handed rifles are available. As already mentioned, Lyman, Traditions and Dixie Gun works amke or carry them. You might check Midsouthshooterssupply.com if you dont go the used route, they have very good prices and they provide great service.
