I fully agree on the Bolster/Snail. I wish this Hawken “Hunter” had the Same setup as Pictured above by GM54, Which is the Same Setup as TC’s, Green Mountain, Rice, etc. The other thing I Don’t like is The Hawken “Hunter” is NOT a Hooked Breech Setup like TC’s, Instead of Simply pushing a Wedge key out, and Pulling the Barrel from the Stock like a TC, and Many others, This Pedersoli requires the Removal of the 1 and Only Tang Bolt Which Runs Through the Front Tang Peep hole, all the Way Through the Stock and in to the Trigger guard, Once you remove that Bolt, You swing the Peep to the Side and the Hole Barrel/Breech/Tang Assembly comes out. While this is probably a LOT STOUTER Design, I wish it were a Hooked Breech like My TC’s, My Navy Arms Hawken “Hunter” is IDENTICAL to the Pedersoli, Built HELL FOR STOUT!!
The Pedersoli Hawken Hunter is a “NO FRILLS” Hunting Rifle, There is nothing Fancy about it, it is Built to HUNT. They are a SOLID, well Built Rifle, and the 1:24 Twist is Pretty Awesome, A Doc White Thing
