Davide Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken

  • Beautiful maple stock with exacting details
  • .54 caliber, sidelock percussion
  • Double triggers with fancy trigger guard
  • 34" barrel with 1-in-65" twist
The Hawken is a symbol of the period that saw the passage from the long and heavy small caliber Pennsylvania rifles to more practical and powerful Plains rifles, and the definite abandoning of the flintlock for the far more modern percussion system. The strong barrel and the larger caliber, enabled hits on any target with surprising accuracy. This rifle soon became an invaluable friend of Mountain men, and the most famous explorers of the American continent. The Rocky Mountain Hawken is offered in a maple stock with a barrel having seven grooves obtained by broaching, rust brown color finish, steel metal parts. Barrel length 34". Available in .50 caliber and .54 caliber with twist rates of 1 in 48" on the .50 and 1 in 65" on the .54. Made for Cabela’s by Davide Pedersoli. Right hand only.
Overall length: 51-1/4"
Weight: 9.9 lbs.

Gem of a rifle
Date:
Pedersoli's Rocky Mountain Hawken is a keeper. I purchased the .50 cal maple version on sale through Cabelas. Had to wait several weeks for the maple version but it was worth it. The first thing I noticed right out of the box is this rifle is more robust than expected. This is a good thing, it implies strength and durability and stabilizes the rifle when shooting. The maple stock is beautiful, I like the raised cheekpiece, and the wood to metal finish is good. The satin browned barrel is very attractive also. I'm glad I opted for the .50 cal as the 1/48" barrel allows shooting of both round balls and conicals. I figure the conical bullet will give more accuracy and retained energy over a .54 cal round ball (1/66" twist barrel) at longer distance, 75 - 100 yds and w/ less recoil.
I just finished a shooting session, shooting a combination of about 50 .490 Hornady round balls and Powerbelt Copper Series conical hollow points. I worked up from 70 to 90 gr of Pyrodex FFg w/ both projectiles and when I did my part, got very good accuracy no matter the powder charge. Keep in mind that I'm a centerfire/scope guy and this is the first time shooting black powder in over 20 years! The rifle shot consistently to the right and I wasn't able to drift the front sight in the field to correct for this so I had to aim about a front blade's width to the left. 3 shot groups w/ the round balls were all under 1 3/4" at 50 yards, the best was 1 1/2". Also cleaned the barrel every 3 shots or so. I started shooting w/ the round balls so I was experimenting w/ powder charge, sights, and was adjusting to the trigger pull. Switching to the conicals put a big smile on my face as my best 3 shot group at 50 yds could be covered by a quarter! I then proceeded to knock over several 1 liter sized water bottles at 75 yds shooting the conicals. For the entire shooting session, all shots would have been in the vitals of a deer sized animal. Recoil wasn't an issue, a moderate push rather than a sharp kick. I believe the weight of the rifle helps here.
Other than needing a windage adjustment, the only glitch was towards the end of my shooting session, the hammer started to "catch" at times when pulling the trigger after using the set trigger. It would fall only to the half cock position. Recocking and firing w/o setting the trigger always worked.
The Rocky Mtn Hawken was a blast to shoot and is a work of art. Loved the cloud of smoke! If any of you are debating between a .50 vs .54 and maple vs. walnut stock, go for the maple stock, it's beautiful, and you'll appreciate the accuracy and versatility of the 1/48" twist barrel of the .50 cal.

Great Hawken
Date:
I've wanted one for several years and finally got one of these, and am very pleased. The quality is first class and the wood is really beautiful. The browning is great and dark. The barrel is darker than the rod ferrules. The color-case hardening is really nice. I'm looking forward to shooting it.

Work of art
Date:
This was my first muzzleloader purchase so I researched for quite some time before settling on the Maple .54. The price was considerably more than other production rifles I had looked at but it was absolutely worth the money. I could not have made a better choice. The maple stock is beautiful and well fitted to the metal. I really love the set trigger which works very well increases accuracy significantly. I can't wait to try this beauty out on a Yukon moose this fall!
