Lyman GPR...or not?
I have my T/C Hawken, my father's T/C Hawken, and my younger brother's T/C Hawken. They all have great sentimental value for me. Mine was bought as a kit and presented to me for a birthday in 1979. My father and 2 brothers all had them and they kept asking me when I was going to get one. So they...- Del Gue

I'm really liking the feel of it, and as soon as I can get some powder and time I'll take it out and shoot it some.- Del Gue

Fedex brought it y'day. Looked it over as best I could. I thought I found a small crack, but looking as closely as I can, I decided it is not. As of now, I'm gonna keep it and go forth and shoot it! (Doing the Snoopy Happy Dance!!!)- Del Gue

Who's fox hunting?
I've called in fox many years ago, both in western NC and in the Ocala N.F. in Florida. On both occasions, they came in fast, like a coyote. I've also called in coyote, in Fl, and they came in fast, too. It's funny, because I just told my father today I kinda wanted to go predator calling...- Del Gue

Well, now. That doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy... Since I'm getting it from TOW, it looks like it's returnable if I get anything like that. "...Inspect the item, return it for same day refund if not delighted..." Mebbeso I shoulda gone the Pedersoli route.- Del Gue

Flinter, Glad to hear you're happy with yours. Sorry you had to do the barrel twice. Stan, I've seen good reviews on the GPR, and gotten some positive recommendations on it from some other folks. I entertained the Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken, but decided to go GPR. I'll use the GPR while...- Del Gue

I don't blame you. After all, this is the 21st century. It would seem that with the industrial revolution long since arrived that something simple like a sight base could be correctly and consistently made to a certain size. Makes me wonder how old the tools are that are making these things...- Del Gue

Well, the decision's been made. It was kinda sealed today when a gent reminded that "Remember, these rifles are made to work. Not pretty toys." It kinda made me think that a real mountain man would buy the GPR and never look back. I'm also reminded of Alexander McKeag. When he and Pasquinel...- Del Gue

akaMOTU, interesting ref your observations. I 'may' be starting to slide over to the Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken Maple, either that or the Pedersoli Kentucky rifle. If I go with the Hawken, I'll just have to man up and deal with the weight. The other option is to go pre-Hawken and get the...- Del Gue
