Brand ID on Hawken style

[Andrewmtnman]

This is at least 30 years old. Was bought used. There is no manufacturers name anywhere on the barrel, just a few markings. Any idea who made this ML with an Italian barrel?

Well I can’t say which company made it but Cabelas sold them.

Looks like Palmetto arms. Their mark was a palm tree in a circle. This style of rifle was more commonly made by Investarms (capitol I in a square box). Newer ones of similar style are now made by Pedersoli.

Forgot to add that the date code looks like XXX which means it was mfg. in 1974.

I just looked closely, the appears to be some kind of crest, maybe a bull head in it, with a circle above that has a star in it. No palm tree. And no investarm logo either. One other symbol looks like the muzzle end of a double barrel shotgun

Yes there are XXX and that’s good info. Ty

What looks like the muzzle end of a double barrel is the Investarms I in a rounded sides box. I have one of those Cabelas Hawkens.

Did a little digging. MAVI - precursor to Investarms. Same company.

Ahhh. Makes sense. Looks so much like investarm, cuz it is
