Well, I went to the new Cabela's in Salt Lake City this past week. I looked at spotting scopes and muzzle loaders. I really like the look and feel of the Cabela's Sporterized Hawken they have. I am wanting to get another one, and give my current gun to my dad so he can start practicing with it. I am thinking .54 would be nice, and would be just as good, if not better on elk, as my .50 was this year.

I just have a question on the quality of the gun. It seems to be very nice, and is made in Italy. Anyone have any comments on this particular firearm? Any help would be great, thanks.

P.S. - Don't want an inline, I like the sidelocks, besides can't see as far as they can shoot anyway.
