Thanks in advance for all your input.

The 'Cougar' is simply a T/C Hawken varient...it has presentation grade wood and stainless furniture...otherwise, its the exact same Hawken dimensions in enery respect...have three of them.

T/C's own 1:66" round ball barrels are 32"...GMs barrels are copies of TCs specs.
I have several GM barrels on T/C Hawken stocks...a .40cal, two .54s, and two 62s.

Enjoy!
