Well, I didn't think I'd ever do it but I sold my .58cal semi custom cva hawken i built 4 years ago. My stomach is just flat out sick. I love it to death, shoots amazing, great balance, etc. But something is calling me to do something else.

I already have a .50cal traditions mountain rifle... But thats just it... 50cal

I prefer round balls but shots out to 150 with round ball just isn't sitting well with me.

Sure, I can cast up some lead conicals but that kind of ruins the mood for me.

One thing I found is a traditions st.louis .54cal kit gun for a decent price. I like to personalize my own rifles and really bring out the wood grain, but.... I just don't know.

Another option is to get another traditions mountain rifle, but in kit form this time and work it to my liking.

I have at traditions kentucky and a traditions hawken woodsman, both flinters, so I am set in that department. Just trying to beat my head a little and figure out what to replace that 58 with oh!
