And every time I watch it I want to get me a Hawkins. It is the movie that got me started in ML. Back then I couldn't afford a Hawkins so by the time I was old enough to buy a rifle I settled on a Renegade. Now, after watching Jeremiah Johnson for the millionth time I just can't hold back. I'm going to order me a .54 cal flintlock Hawkins just as soon as I find one. (I know he used a percussion in the movie but I hate registering guns in Canada.)

Merry Christmas to me!!! and to all of you!!!

I watched it last night as well, I have it on DVD, and I would hate to guess how many times I have watched it... Another favorite of mine is Mountain Man with Charleton Heston and Brian Keith..

I Hatchet Jack do hereby giveth my gun to whomever finds it. Probably why I couldn't walk past the 54 Hawken in the gun rack without checking it over looking at the price and taking it home.

Mountain Man, I'll have to track that down.

id agree! Jeremiah Johnson and Mountain Men are 2 great flicks!! they are usually playing on a rainy day at camp!

i think the Renegade is more like an original hawken than todays hawkens are. i believe they were originally not as dressed and when they were it was usually steel not brass. could be wrong though....been a while since i read up on the subject...everytime i start looking, reading, thinking, i get this burning desire to buy and build! lol

Seems like we are all cast out of the same mould. Probably 2 of the best frontier movies ever.
