Design and Condition

The Hawken-style stock and ironwork speak to traditional field rifle ergonomics: a sturdy, straight-hand stock that rides the shoulder well for follow-up reloads and controlled shots. The bluing and stock are described as in excellent condition, with one noted storage mark on the left side of the barrel that would benefit from a touch-up. The stock has a few minor dings that are pictured on the product page, reflecting honest, presentable wear rather than structural issues. Manufacturer details list the brand as Angelo Zoli with model variations available through this listing.

Ballistics and Tactical Use

A true 50 caliber black powder bore delivers substantial kinetic energy for single-shot applications. For defensive considerations in rural or perimeter scenarios, a 50 caliber muzzleloader provides heavy, reliable terminal performance at typical black powder engagement ranges. As a Single Shot platform, rate-of-fire is intentionally slow — training and shot placement are paramount.

Care, Maintenance, and Practical Notes

Black powder rifles require disciplined maintenance: thorough fouling removal, lubrication of metal parts, and periodic inspection of stock integrity. The listed storage mark and minor dings are cosmetic fixes; a light bluing touch-up and careful stock repair can return the rifle to near-original presentation. Remember that this piece is imported through Armsport – Miami Florida and offered at $499.99, representing an accessible entry into larger-caliber muzzleloaders.
