Nice Cougar Anyone?

[bubba.50]

No, not the kind that wants to buy you a drink & get you outta yer britches. a good friend of mine has put his T/C Hawken Cougar up for sale on Armslist. priced much less than what they typically go for on Gunbroker & about as nice a piece of walnut as yer likely to see at that price-point. listin' says "Roanoke Virginia" but when ya click on it you'll see it's in Pulaski County.

gee bubba ....i was hoping for the other one!

[Beagle333]

That is a pretty rifle!

[KenH]

That is one pretty piece of wood on that rifle, and price seems good also. Good luck.

I ain't got a dime invested or a dog in this fight. just tryin' to help two people out. one bein' my buddy that's sellin' his beautiful gun, the other bein' whoever here wants a beautiful gun for a pretty reasonable price. and without the hagglin' & nervous waitin' of places like gunbroker.


and that stock looks much better in person.

[C. Latch]

Wow. I looked it up. Gorgeous!

[rodwha]

I married one of those. It didn't even make it 9 months...

And.... .it's sold. :coffeecom

Did you buy it Beagle333?

[Beagle333]

No, I just saw that it was sold. It was nice, but I'm a .54 guy.

My Renegade, my flint Hawken, and both caplock Hawkens are .54s.

I got one little .45 Hawken for squirrels and such. ;)

I knew it wouldn't last long, ive seen the Hawken Cougars sell for more in the 800 range. If i could have only 1 Muzzleloader it would be a Hawken Cougar with a Stainless Green Mountain LRH barrel, either .50 or .54 Cal, i would say .45 Cal but here in Idaho there is a .50 Cal minimum for Elk, Which drives me nuts, i shoot a 400 plus grain bullet from my .45 Which is more than sufficient BUT, the law is the law

[swheeler]

The stock sure is purdy!

It really pisses me off. In Idaho I can legally hunt elk with a 25 ACP but not a 45 cal Muzzleloader with a 408 grain bullet.

well, if yer 45cal muzzleloader had the awesome ballistics & knockdown power of yer 25acp............................[smilie=1::Fire:

Not to mention the penetration of those 50 grn FMJ and the large wound cavity it produces!
