Hate to be sacrilegious, but a lot of money for a halfstock.
I like the Hagerstown fullstock Hawkens a lot better.

I agree with AVLRC - beautiful rifle, but sky high price! Plus a 20.5% fee.....

If you go to the auction house to bid, the buyers fee is 17.5%.
One heck of a rifle. Ole Cletus had a nice collection.
I wonder what my wife would say?
I just asked her. She did not say no, at least in words.

It is predicted to sell for close to twice the opening bid price. It’s a hot collectible.
