Semi was whining for pics
OK Semi was looking for pictures of my new Hawken. Here is a picture. The silver elite is on top and a standard T/C Hawken below for comparison. Pretty cool looking rifle IMO.

Heck Bronko, I wasn't whining - I was DEMANDING! 
I do like that Silver Elite.
Thatcarbine length Hawken is neat. I have.45 and .54 GM barrels for my Renegade, as well as the original .50 TC barrel. I just may have to cut that TC barrel back to 22" or so.
Nice collection. Of course, the .54 and .58 are missing.

RE: Semi was whining for pics
Thanks Dave.
I had a .54 in a Renegade but I sold the barrel. Maybe some day if I find a Hawken in 54 cal I just might buy it. As for the .58 I think I will pass on that.
If I want to use something that big, I'll just take a bowling ball up a tree with me and drop it on their heads when they go by.

I have to admit that I enjoy shooting my .58 just a tad more than most of my other guns.

Nice collection there pal. You must have a lot of fun shooting them. I enjoy shooting my inlines, but nothing is more fun then hunting with a sidelock.
All IMHO of course!!!

RE: Semi was whining for pics
Semisane - I get that reaction a lot already from the women folk.
Underclocked - I've been looking for a Cougar for a long time but I either miss it or get out bid. I probably would have missed this silver too if I didn't catch it about 2 hours after it was put on gunbroker.com and I used the 'buy it now' option cause the price was right.
That sure is a pretty one you got there. I love the wood on them.
