very nice looking rifles.. Ardesa is or used to be part of Traditions I believe.. I am not sure if they still are.

RE: Ardesa Hawken Match & Hawken Creedmore
 

They might still be.. if you go to their site and look at their rifles and then compare them to Traditions.. well they are very close.

RE: Ardesa Hawken Match & Hawken Creedmore
 

They're still making them for Traditions andare licensed to distribute some Traditions guns in Europe.
Someone commented that these will stabilze some looong bullets. A shooter might need a shoulder pad with those curved buttplates though.

People shooting with those butt plates often hold them wrong. They treat' em like a centerfire with a rubber recoil pad.

While I think the curved butt stock is cool, you really need to pay attention to where you tuck that rifle in to. It can down right hurt...
