Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken

The Hawken is a symbol of the period that saw the passage from the long and heavy small-caliber Pennsylvania rifles to more practical and powerful Plains rifles and the definite abandoning of the flintlock for the far more modern percussion system. The strong barrel and the larger caliber enabled hits on any target with surprising accuracy. This rifle soon became the inseparable friend of the Mountains men and the most famous explorers of the American continent. The Rocky Mountain Hawken is offered with the maple or walnut stock with a barrel having 7 grooves obtained by broaching and has rust-brown color finish and steel metal parts. The.54 caliber barrel has a 1 in 65 twists and is 34 5/8" long.
