Probably the same as on a 50 TC hawken, if you can google that.
When you care enough to send the very best, send an ounce of lead.
It's pretty heavy, but balances nicely. Mine is in my son's safe, about 50 miles away....

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
Actually I think it would be a few ounces heavier than the .50 as it is most likely the same size barrel(inches across the flats) with a small hole making it heavier in weight.
.
The .45cal T/C Hawken weighs 9lbs.
The .50cal T/C Hawken weighs 8-1/4lbs.
The .45cal T/C Seneca weighs 7lbs.
The .45cal T/C Cherokee weighs 6-1/2lbs.
The Cherokee & Senecas are lighter than the Hawken due to thinner/shorter barrels, slimmer stocks, and scaled-down locks (compared to Hawkens).
If the barrel of a .50cal and a .45cal measure the same, flat-to-flat, the .50cal will be lighter due to having more metal bored out than the .45cal.
.45cal T/C Hawken barrels measure 15/16" thick
.45cal T/C Cherokee & Seneca barrels measure 13/16" thick, and are also a few inches shorter than Hawken barrels.
.50cal T/C Hawken barrels were made mostly measuring 1" flat-to-flat, and some few with 15/16" barrels.
All caliber T/C Hawkins were issued with 28" long barrels, except for a few target-specific guns made with a barrel a few inches longer.
All caliber T/C Cherokee's were issued with a 24" long barrel & no patchbox; all caliber T/C Seneca's were issued with a 27" long barrel

Now I lay me down to sleep
A gun beside me is what I keep
If I awake, and you're inside
The coroner's van is your next ride
Thanks all.
