Here's mine. A T/C Omega Z5 that I just bought last week. Talley one-piece base and rings with a Bushnell Elite 3200 3x9x40. Can't wait to fire it but that probably won't happen until the spring. Its 10 degrees F up here in Manitoba with a bunch of snow on the ground.
The other is my T/C .50 cal White Mountain Carbine. This one used to belong to my Father In-Law. Really nice little gun.

From my experiences with several I've looked at and bought,the 70's and early 80's Hawken stocks hadphysically larger stocks, higher / very pronounced combs,longer LOP's (14.5-14.75") and usually a much better looking grade of wood.
That rifle was actually a caplock...I bought it just to get the stock, sold the caplock & barrel, refinished the stock, installeda new TC Flintlock assembly,TC.50cal 1:66" RBFlint barrel,anda brass ramrod.
Deer load is:
90grns Goex 3F
OxYoke wad
.018" TC pillow tricking patch
Hornady .490 ball
It's a beauty and as accurate as all get out...love it
