This was a Brand New Unfired Rifle i traded a Forum member for. It is What Pedersoli Calls a “Traditional Hawken Hunter” it sports a 1:24 Fast Twist Barrel for shooting Bullets
Anyone That Knows me, knows that my Love is with Big Lead Bullets and Sidelock Muzzleloaders, Since Green Mountain no longer Makes their Line of LRH (Long Range Hunter) Drop in Barrels there just isn’t many Options available these Days for us Sidelock Guy’s, Lyman Makes their GP in a “Hunter” Model in .50 and .54 Cal which is 1:32 Twist, I own Their .54 Cal and Like it (After a few Modifications) But other than Lyman, there just isn’t much out there for Current Production Fast Twist Bullet Shooting Sidelock Muzzleloaders.
I have been looking at this Particular Pedersoli Hawken Hunter Model and wanting to try 1 for 2-3 years now, The Chance finally came! All and all I am VERY impressed with the Rifle, as i say in The Video it is a NO FRILLS Hunting Rifle!! This is by NO MEANS Pedersoli’s High Grade stuff. But it is a Very well Made, SOLID Rifle. So far I like this Pedersoli Better than my Lyman Great Plains Hunter, The Lyman is a more “Traditional” Rifle in Looks.

Here is a Picture of the Gun, This is from Pedersoli’s Site, But is EXACTLY what my New Rifle looks like.
