    Please talk me out of a 1861 Navy

    I don't buy anything from Taylors And Company anymore. Back in 2020, I ordered a matching serial numbered set of Cimarron 1873, SAA in charcoal blue through Taylor's, I even drove up to Winchester, VA from Florida to make sure I got exactly what I was looking for, yet... many months later...

    Well, if a Hawken is what it is, what would be considered to be the ultimate hunting rifle of this same class?

    My question is this, were Hawken's known for being fitted with scopes like on Sharps or Whitworth rifles of the period?

    No, I agree, it's not okay... BUT... it is additionally not ok for all the many other MAJOR violations I mentioned, event organizers turn a blind eye to, that which are much, much WORSE, how come that is? ‘Practice what you preach’. Another cancer on the hobby is the sanctimonious...

    Seriously, sarcasm? I am a CW reenactor and have been since the late 1970's, if it were about "standards", why do the event organizers tolerate all the 1930's prison convict invented Adirondack chairs, blue speckled enamel cookware, aluminum folding military surplus cots, Coleman coolers, Weber...

    Hawken Rifles, What's All The Hoopla?!

    Yet, on the other side of the coin, they are NOT accepted in the Civil War reenacting community for some reason. I've been to many a CW event that had big signs that say "No Hawken's", right as you come up to sign in at the registry tents...

    Hawken Rifles, What's All The Hoopla?!

    I've never owned or even fired one for that matter, but have noticed them around a lot and are extremely well-known in the black powder community, more so than any other model I've ever notice before. What is it that makes it such a standard?
