Made by Investarm in Italy for Cabela's, this Hawken-pattern muzzleloader features the correct period styling with a right-hand percussion sidelock and single-shot, muzzle-loading configuration. It is branded with a Cabela's, Inc. Sidney, N.E. roll mark on the top flat, alongside the Investarm boxed "I" logo.
The 29" octagonal steel barrel is secured by a single transverse wedge and includes an under rib supporting the ramrod. Roll marks on the right flat read "BLACK POWDER ONLY - MADE IN ITALY - CAL. 50," confirming its black powder designation and origin. Capacity is one round.
The rifle is outfitted with iron sights, including a dovetailed front blade and an adjustable rear leaf/elevator, providing a traditional and practical sight picture. The length of pull measures 14.0 inches.
Stocked in hardwood, the half-stock layout includes a raised cheekpiece and a brass patchbox. Brass furniture continues with a buttplate, a trigger guard with finger spur, a nose cap, and ramrod pipes. The lockplate and hammer are factory engraved, adding a refined touch consistent with the Hawken style.
A double-set trigger arrangement complements the percussion sidelock action, allowing crisp control. A wooden ramrod with brass tip rides under the barrel, completing the classic configuration.
