The Traditions Pursuit XT LDR Northwest Magnum .50 caliber muzzleloader (brand part no. R796604437WAWP) takes the popular Pursuit line to a longer barrel and a faster twist. Traditions built this Northwest Magnum version for hunters in Idaho and Oregon, with an open breech, open sights and a musket ignition. A 30-inch ultralight Chromoly barrel wears a Desert Web Tungsten premium Cerakote finish, and a Globe Front Peep Sight and rear sight come mounted. The Elite XT trigger and a dual safety system give it the crisp, controlled feel of a mid-level muzzleloader at only 6.1 pounds.

Key Specifications

• The caliber is .50, the standard bore size for modern inline muzzleloader hunting loads.
• The barrel is a 30-inch ultralight Chromoly steel tube, tapered and fluted to save weight while holding accuracy.
• The barrel carries a VAPR 1:24-inch twist, a faster twist that stabilizes more bullet options and tightens groups.
• Ignition is musket ignition with an open breech, the configuration this Northwest Magnum model was designed around for Idaho and Oregon regulations.
• The sights are a Globe Front Peep Sight and mounted rear sight, so the rifle is ready to shoot with open sights as delivered.
• The safety is a dual safety system built from a rebounding hammer and a manual cross-block trigger safety, which adds a second layer when carrying afield.
• The weight is 6.1 pounds, light enough to carry on a long stalk and still steady enough to shoot well.
