[QUOTE="FrontierGander, post: 757894, member: 26439"] Been putting together my CVA Hawken together since September. 32" 1:66 twist barrel from Deer Creek, .58cal Love this gun! Ive updated the front sight since this pic was taken, it now uses a steel front blade sight. The rear sight is off a Marlin 336 30-30 and the elevation adjustments actually work! The rifle is just pure joy when shooting a .570" ball wrapped in a .018" patch makes for a tight fit, but she does good with that and 100gr Pyrodex RS.
