New W.B. Selb Hawken

[srkmarine1101]

Just took delivery last week.
36in .54 tapered Rice barrel.
Should hopefully have some pics up from my range trip here pretty soon.
The wait was definitely worth it

Beautiful rifle ! W B builds some really nice Hawkins .l have not seen any better . He built mine back in 2011and it is a real shooter .
My only problem with the rifle was , it looked so good l didn't want to use it for fear of scratching it . But hey l bought it to use and use it l have . Thousands of prb's later , and she still shoots like the champ she is , and l still love her .

It shot great today! Just need to find some paper targets with a bullseye that is easier for me to see!

Many of the free target websites have excellent patterns to print off, if you are shooting a scoped rifle, which you are not in this instance.

Take a Vitamin C bottle, approximately 3", and use it to trace out a larger sight in circle with a Black Magic Marker. It is large enough to see up to 100 yards, and dirt cheap if you have a printer to copy them off. For fine tuning use a Vitamin B bottle, about 1 1/2" in diameter, to do the same. I can still see the smaller dot at 100 yards, but it takes much concentration, yet this way I know the rifle is ready to go.

I make some in Red or Bright Orange, but Black still seems to be the best color to designate over the sights on my Muzzleloaders.

Beautiful rifle you have procured. Just a lovely job of craftsmanship that is satisfyingly useful.

Very nice rifle. I’ve shot trap with him on several occasions and he’s told me about his work of which he is very proud of rightly so. Oh and he’s a good trap shooter too. Congratulations on your new purchase!

There were some major delays due to parts availability. I orderd in Spring of 2017.
