For hunting or long range target it is hard to beat a 54 cal Renagade, the stock shape is much easier on you than a Hawken. If you want it for close range plinking or target a 45 cal Hawken. The Renagade with an after market 1 in 66 or 1 in 70 twist 32 to 36 inches long is top notch for hunting I have taken large bear elk deer and boar amounge other things with one. Lee
