If a Hawken style shines for you, Lyman's Great Plains Rifle is about the best
of the inexpensive guns out there.  It is a very close copy of an original
Hawken and shoots darn well.  You can remove the bluing of the finished gun and
then brown the metal or build it from a kit and make it look right.  For $300.00
I don't think it can be beat!  Personal preference prevails here but a gun worth
mentioning.
