I just received a new Hawken rifle. Its been about 3 1/2 years since I ordered it, but it was worth
it. I don't have pictures yet, maybe tomorrow. It was made by Brant Selb. Its a work of art and shoots great. I had it made with a .54 cal. barrel and I can switch it out with a .62 cal. Taking it elk hunting in Sept, I have Colorado cow elk muzzleloader lic.

Love those 62's! Great hunting caliber and the Hawken is the all around best hunting rifle to have it in. Good choices.

Sounds like a good one. Is the .62 a straight slug or sabot round. I am not familiar with it.

The rifle has a .62 cal barrel made by Rice Barrel Co. I think its a 1:70 twist for round balls. I fired the .54 cal and it shoots great, that barrel is a Colerain 1:56 twist. I still need to sight this in, but its not bad only hits about 4" low at 50 yards. Pictures are coming in the morning. I leave for work for 32 days in Kuwait tomorrow so I'm trying to get everything done tonight and in the morning.

I'm jealous of that one.

in the end of it.

Looks great...you should have a lot of fun with that one. Rice makes one of their barrels with round bottom grooves and they shoot great and clean easy. They are quality barrels. I shoot a .62 often in a smoothbore flinter and a percussion English sporting rifle. 90 gr. of 2f behind a patched round ball is very effective on larger game.
