Theodore Roosevelt's Hawken Shoots The Moon 

You do realize teddy Roosevelt been dead over a 120 years so how is going to boost a auction price of a company he had never heard of y'all people are good for laughs

@@michaelhayes7471 - TR didn’t say it to boost the bid price, the RIA representative did. I think TR was just describing the rifle.

@@michaelhayes7471 the most important thing you should be concerned about is your grammar and punctuation. Good lord, man.

They've sold guns for a LOT more than that.

@@35rem19 I know, and those prices were equally absurd and ridiculous. But whatever, it's not my money. Me personally, I'd rather have a house, or a brand new Porsche 911 GT3, or like a million other things rather than some old rifle that Teddy Roosevelt owned. I mean, shit, an orange GT500KR(one of only 2 ever produced in that color) just sold at Mecum for the same price as this rifle. In what fucking world is this rifle worth as much as that entire car? It's crazy.

You are 100 % correct. The hawken is one of the most overrated guns in history. Leman rifles were far more popular at the time.

@@garrettfromsmokeinthewoods Hawkens are cool. But their superiority to other cottage-industry makes - I don't know.
