looks like the Hawken gets the call
 
Tomorrow starts our early 2 day "antlerless only" season this year and the scope I have coming from Leupold (replacement for a defective 39yo scope I sent back) hasn't made it here yet. Looks like the new CVA Wolf will set at home while I hunt tomorrow.

I got the old T/C Hawken with the 21" GM LRH barrel out this afternoon and will use it tomorrow. It will shoot 3" groups at 100 yards, even with my old eyes and the fiber optic sights (where I just put the green out of focus blob between the 2 red out of focus blobs and set the target on top).

80gr fffg Goex and a 300gr XTP will be the load for this weekend.

Good luck and shoot some freezer food. I have the same barrel and that's the same load mine shoots.

WABI...I do not own a Hawkin but I stopped by the Grave of Samual Hawkin today while I had an interesting tour of Bellefontaine Cemetery here in St. Louis.
