The Turner Fabrications Buckstalker XT (Turner Fabrications part no. R72000840S) is a .50 caliber magnum muzzleloader built on an LT-1 alloy frame for a lighter overall package. Its 24″ blued barrel runs a 1:28 twist and pairs with the Elite XT trigger system for a precise, accurate pull, backed by an Accelerator Breech Plug and a recoil pad for comfortable range time. The rifle’s 100% adjustable fiber optic sights are accurate out to roughly 200 yards, and the Speed Load System with Quick-T handle, dual safety system (rebounding hammer and trigger block), and solid aluminum ramrod round out a 40″ overall, 6.35 lb build backed by Traditions’ lifetime warranty.
