Taylors & Company 210109 Hawken Target 50 Cal Percussion 28" Blued Octagon Barrel, Color Case Hardened Rec, Brass Accents, Fixed Walnut Stock, Double Set Trigger, Adjustable Buckhorn Sight (Left Hand)

The Taylors & Company Hawken Target .50 cal percussion rifle is a left-hand traditional muzzleloader built for shooters who want authentic black powder performance with precision shooting in mind. Built on a Pedersoli action, this rifle combines historical aesthetics with practical features designed for accuracy at the range or in the field. The 28-inch blued octagon barrel is paired with a color case-hardened steel receiver and brass accents, while the walnut stock delivers a classic look that feels right whether you're competing in traditional rifle matches or pursuing period-correct hunting.

What sets this rifle apart is the double set trigger—a feature that lets you set the front trigger to fire with minimal pressure, giving you the crisp, predictable break serious shooters demand. The adjustable buckhorn sight provides a traditional aiming reference that's proven effective at hunting distances, and being left-hand configured, it's built specifically for lefties rather than being a converted right-hand design. The .50 caliber bore is a versatile choice for deer and elk hunting, and the percussion ignition system is straightforward to load, prime, and fire.

This is a rifle for people who respect the heritage of black powder shooting and want a tool that doesn't compromise on accuracy or reliability. Whether you're new to muzzleloading or adding to an established collection, the Hawken Target delivers the performance and handling you expect from Taylors & Company and Pedersoli's reputation for quality manufacturing.
