Ardessa Hawken muzzle loading percussion rifle. S/H. Calibre .50
£225
A very nice flintlock muzzle loader by Ardessa, based on the Amercan plains rifle personified by the guns of the Hawken brothers in St Louis.
The octagonal barrel is well blued with clean rifling and fits well into the stock as does the lock, fittings like the thimbles and patch box are well inlet and the whole package is handsome and well executed especially for a such a low price gun.
The set triggers give a clean crisp let off and the windage and elevation adjustable rear sights make zeroing this gun a doddle.
This is a fine entry gun for those wishing to explore the black powder arts or want to move on to flintlocks. I found this rifle is easy to get to shoot reliably with Swiss No2 powder it will shoot both ball with aplomb.
