I love my Hawkin .54cal! That smokepole has put more meat on the table than any other gun I own except for the Model 12 pump.

450 grn maxi ball in front of 110-120 grains of Pyrodex gets the job done! Of course it all depends on what you are hunting.

FYI- The one on top is a modern Remington Model 700 30-06. Its in the running to be a very good gun, the Hawkin just has many, many, many years of reliable and consistent hunting and gathering behind it.

Absolutely, Brother!! I took down a big 6x6 bull elk two years ago with my .54. He dropped like a stone, too. Not a long shot at all. He walked right up on me because I was bleating him in with a “hoochie-Mama” Cow-call.
