The Taylors & Company Hawken Hunter 50 cal left-hand flintlock rifle brings authentic black powder hunting to shooters who work the trigger from the southpaw side. Built on proven Hawken lines, this 28-inch blued octagon barrel rifle combines traditional mechanics with practical hunting features—color case hardened receiver, walnut furniture, and brass accents that recall the golden age of American riflemanship without sacrificing function. If you're serious about flintlock hunting and need a left-hand lock, this is purpose-built for you.
The real hunting intelligence is in the details. The double set trigger gives you fine control over break weight—set it light for precision shooting or use it standard for field work. The adjustable ghost ring sight puts you on target without modern glass, while the microcell butt-pad absorbs recoil and handles the kind of hard use that comes with a serious hunting rifle. Walnut stock and brass hardware don't just look the part; they're built to last through seasons of use.
This is a left-hand flintlock, so if you're a southpaw tired of adapting to right-hand designs, you've got a rifle that works the way you shoot. The 50 caliber is the sweet spot for deer and medium game with black powder—enough power to do the job cleanly, manageable recoil, and plenty of load flexibility. Whether you're hunting from a stand or working timber, the Hawken profile handles like a rifle that knows its job.
