In August 2023 Missouri passed a bill naming the Hawken Rifle as the official state rifle for Missouri. Bob Browner built a copy of an S. Hawken rifle that he donated to Missouri to be displayed at the Capital museum in Jefferson City, Missouri.
This rifle was shot at the Hawken Classic in 2023 as part of the activities of the event.
Here are some pictures of this rifle and the write up that is posted next to it.
The following images are of a fine example of an original Samuel Hawken, St. Louis Plains Rifle owned by Mariano Medina (renowned trapper, scout, and Kit Carson companion). 34 3/4″ inch barrel, 58 cal. Medina willed his famous rifle to his friend General A.H. Jones of Denver, with hunting bag, tools and horn.
There were photos of this rifle and note documents on the rifle. These images are included here.
