Pedersoli Missouri River Hawken Features The Pedersoli Missouri River Hawken recreates the classic Plains rifle that replaced the lighter Pennsylvania long rifles of the early frontier trading flintlock ignition for the far more reliable percussion system. Its 30 inch octagon barrel is heavy by design adding weight forward that steadies the rifle and helps tame the recoil of a full powder charge. A 1:24 twist with 6 grooves is cut for the round ball loads that this style of rifle was built around delivering the accuracy that let hunters take game at honest ranges. The larger .50 Caliber bore combined with the strong barrel gives this rifle the surprising accuracy that made the original Hawken rifles famous on the frontier. A fixed American Walnut stock gives the rifle its traditional look and feel with a dense durable wood that stands up to field use while keeping the classic lines of a period correct build. The blued octagon barrel pairs with a color case hardened receiver for a two tone finish that echoes the original guns this rifle is modeled after. Percussion ignition keeps loading straightforward for shooters new to black powder while still rewarding the same careful loading technique that traditional muzzleloader hunters expect. At 9.48 pounds and 47 inches overall the Pedersoli Missouri River Hawken is a faithful well balanced percussion rifle for sale at GrabAGun for hunters and collectors who want an authentic piece of frontier history.
