Hawk Bullets?
Is this company still around? I've been trying to get a hold of someone for a couple of weeks now but no answer. Their website is up and running. Tried to leave a message, but their answering machine is full.

Re: Most accurate levergun at 200 yards...
I would go with my Savage 99F in 308 Win since I can load it with match bullets and has mounts for scope. My newly acquired Winchester 94 in 307 would fit the bill also but is limited with bullet selection and no scope mount.

Price Check: 94AE XTR 307 Win.
Someone that I know is clearing some of his firearms is selling a 94AE 307 Win. Has the Monte Carlo stock, non-checkered so I'm thinking the year is 83 ish? Really good shape, no box or papers. He wants $950. What you think?
Thanks!
