Traditional Cap Guns - Let's See 'em!

I shoot a Knight wolverine in .50 cal. Its visible in my profile pick. Its taken one bear, 2 deer and this year now a javelina. Great carbine. I just acquired a T/C Hawken in .50 Cal but have yet to take her out to the range. It's an early '70's model that has some perhaps unique features but IDK. Records are nonexistent on them due to a fire. Shes a beauty. Always wanted a Hawken style rifle. I was hoping to hunt elk with it this year but was unsuccessful in the CO draw.

Some nice rifles there fellas.

@Dave N mine is a .50 which seemed really big at the time. Wishing now I'd got a .54 as well.

I have been thinking about adding another, a Lyman Great Plains Rifle or maybe the Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken.

Surely there are more out there. Post up for everyone to see 'em!
 
I hate to admit this, I got a Traditional kit for xmas 20+ years ago. I still haven't put it together. I told my buddy if I don't put it together this winter, to punch me in the ear.
