I received my Hankins Smokeless Muzzleloader from Hankins Custom Rifles in August of 2014 right before the first Kentucky Challenge. I made the decision to go with Jeff as my builder after looking at many offerings out there. The H.I.S. ignition system and the accuracy achieved out of Jeff's muzzleloaders convinced me that I had found the builder of my rifle. The rifle was built on a Remington 700 SA Stainless action, 1 in 20 twist Krieger barrel .450 - .458, Manners MCST3 stock, Nightforce A.T.A.C.R. 5-25X56mm scope, Badger base and Leupold Mark 4 rings. Just thought I would share some pictures of my rifle for those that may not have seen it before, so here goes.....

Very nice. Jeff has awesome attention to detail on his builds. Wow, that scope cost more than my entire Savage centerfire conversion. How much does it weigh?

I wouldn't expect anything less from you shooting the 325 Aeromax.

Great looking gun, very impressive shooting.
We have already voted that at the next challenge you have to shoot blindfolded, LOL !!!
Best of luck in 2017.

Look at my post on "Kyle's Front Porch" concerning my new digital scale. The RCBS beam scale is a good alternative.
