Got Lucky Again

I visited a shop last year and picked up a Renegade that had never been shot for a great price. Well I was out and about today and decided to stop back in to see if he had anything on the shelves. He had a T/C Hawken that the owner of the shop put together as a kit years ago and let me have it for a great price. The kicker is that it has never been shot either. He never finished the barrel but did a great job on the rest. Im either going to brown it or may just leave it grey and shoot it. Maybe he will have a Cherokee next time Im in!!

Congrats on the two great finds. I've been shooting a Renegade for over thirty years and I believe the Hawken is the same quality with a slightly smaller barrel (3/4" across the flats vs. 1" on the Renegade) and brass fittings.They aren't fancy but always do the job. And the hooked breech makes cleaning so easy.

I believe the TC Hawken is 15/16" across the flats. The Cherokee and Seneca rifles had 3/4" barrels.

A 54 caliber hawken has a 1" barrel -- I have one.

Mark, Thanks for catching my error on the Hawken barrel flats. I hate getting that stuff wrong.

Cool! Was that the one at OA? MM had one, but there was something weird going on with the lock. Good looking rifle there!

No this was at a place closer to Farmington

The ones I saw might not have been Renegades. I don't know T/C rifles very well, but they look really well made.
