I've been hunting with muzzleloaders for 30 plus years and fill a lot of tags, mostly with a 54. My favorite is a 54 Hawkin halfstock made for me by Steve Zihn, a very good friend of mine who lives about 30 minutes down the road. I have all the fixin's for building a 62cal fullstock Hawkin flinter with a custom made barrel by Bill Moody,who also made the barrel for the 54. Both are based of off originals from the Buffalo Bill museum in Cody. The 54 is good and hefty and balances perfectly and steady, expect the 62 will as well (if I can ever get time to work on it and finish it.
