I've always had semi hard-on for a Kentucky style front stuffer. I bought this CVA Hawken 20 some years ago and used to hunt late season deer with it back in Maine. My oldest boy loves shooting it as there's more to do than just drive a round in the chamber. Maxi-balls and round balls both shoot pretty good out of it. I'm thinking I need to kill a bou or moose with it at some point. .50 cal is more than capable and it's got a good bark with 80-100gr of FFF in it.
