Today’s bargain find. Out kicking around the shops today with ElkCreek who seems to have a knack for finding out what’s in back! Came home with this gem for a ridiculous low price We had seen some fine treasures and were heading out when I spied this in a corner. Apparently it had been there a while and the owner wanted it gone. I was happy to oblige.
have to thank Andy for the assist, had he not inquired about what they might have in back we would have never seen this.

I have exactly the same gun in .58! It’s an awesome rifle. Congratulations

Thanks, I have a 50 cal as well but always wanted a 54. And, since the muzzle loading hunting rules here are kind of convoluted, the 54 makes it easier.

Looks clean on the outside, bore looks good?

Bore is pristine. Fired little if all I would say.

"I Hatchet Jack, being of sound mind and broke legs, do hereby leaveth my bear rifle to whatever finds it. Lord, hope it be a white man. It is a good rifle, and kilt the bear that kilt me. Anyway, I am dead. Yours truly, Hatchet Jack."

Looks good buddy.
Surely with Andy's help you could find grips....lol

You would think so wouldn't you. They just don't turn up out here. Got a suitable ML for bear now though

Pictures don’t do that rifle justice! It’s a beauty…. Some of those treasures were amazing for sure! Always pay at to Chat up the owner and see what they have……

That is a good-looking rifle! That rear aperture sight and sling studs are nice additions.

I was so excited about the deal I didn't even pay attention to the peep sight until Andy pointed it out as an original T/C sight. It alone is worth the price I paid.

There was a lot of excitement going on I was just as happy for you to get the deal done! That was a fun interaction with that shop owner.

I agree, it was something for him to spend the time to show us what was not on display. makes you want to do business with a shop like that.

Absolutely!!

I'm confused..Its been awhile but....The T/C Hawken was available in .45 and 50....and the .54 was the Renegade...never recall T/C selling a .58....After-market barrels?

I believe you are correct. My 50 is a Hawken, this 54 is a Renegade. There have been 58's from T/C but I can't say for certain which model it was.

An example.

Renegade doesn't have brass nor a patchbox. OP is a Hawken.

They made the hawken in 54 too. Dad has a 54 hawken just like yours Sako.

Yep, what he said. The Renegade was the “budget” gun without brass furniture and no patch box. I don’t think k it had a double set trigger either. But I’m going from memory here…

That being the case mine are both Hawken models then. Both have double set triggers and brass patch box. learning something today

I owned one of the original Renegades...those had double set triggers...but we're otherwise "plain Jane"

There was another T/C offering about the same time
..the "Seneca" offered in .36 and .45 caliber..

I recall owning one too a long time ago. I couldn’t remember if the trigger was a single or double. It was a nice gun but I really was not into BP back then. It was just a season extender and one more tag for me. Sold it when I got my first in-line.
