Just ordered a Missouri River Hawken 50 cal.wife is gonna kill me..lol.believe it has a 30in octagon brown barrel that is a 1 in 24 twist with 6 lands an 6 grooves.......figure 80grs of ff an a good solid conical......well a good place to start anyway....anyone on here have one that can say if they are good shooters or not .....i hope so............can't wait!!!

Never shot one frontstuffer, but I shouldered one in the Cabala's Bargain Cave two years ago. Beautiful gun. I envy you. As I recall it was a little on the hefty side for weight but balanced really well. That 1:24 twist is really attractive to me. I'd love to play around with one.

They had a great price on it at the time. I should have bought it but it was right after Christmas and I was tapped out.

I almost bought one but went with the Rocky Mountain Hawken 54 instead because I wanted the round ball twist . It is a nice gun and being a Pedersoli I would be very confident that it will shoot real well.I .had a Pedersoli 1:24 twist in a double barrel kodiak express. It loved both heavy conicals( no excuse 460) and barnes expander mz's with 90 gr . That's a great gun, enjoy it.

I had the chance to buy one in cabelas for under 600.00 it had a ding in the stock. I would love to see how that thing would shoot with my Paper Patched 500 S&W bullets. Ron

That is a beautiful gun there. I would love to get a sidelock with a fast conical twist. A regular recoil pad would be nice though.
