I have been using my TC PA Hunter Carbine for at least 20 years now. Still shoots great but I want a new one. My son is getting interested in hunting with one and loves to shoot the TC. Which gives me the 2nd reason to buy a new flinter. I like the hawken style rifles. I seen Pedersoli has a hawkens flintlock. I not completely sold yet. Anyone have any suggestions on a hawkens style flinter or a good read to not buy the Pesersoli. I would like to keep the price around 700 or less. Pesersoli I have seen in the 550 price range. I plan on going to my local shop tomorrow to look around also. They are a great shop.
