The Traditions Vortek StrikerFire VAPR Muzzleloader (Traditions part no. R568804625) replaces the external hammer found on most in-line muzzleloaders with an internal StrikerFire system, working on the same principle as a modern center-fire rifle’s safety. To cock the rifle, the shooter simply slides the striker button forward until it locks, and a recessed de-cocking button allows quick, quiet de-cocking; the rifle also de-cocks automatically when opened. Eliminating the external hammer gives faster lock times and lets the scope mount closer to the bore, while a fast 1:24-inch VAPR twist barrel stabilizes modern high-BC muzzleloading bullets and a creep-free, two-stage trigger breaks at 3 pounds.
