You can't go wrong with a used 50 cal T/C caplock. I like the New Englander and Renegade without the set trigger. The Hawken is a fine looking rifle but the curved buttplate and small trigger guard with the tang underneath don't do anything for me as a hunter.

The High Plains Sporter is a nice hunting model with a large trigger guard.
