The Traditions Vortek StrikerFire .50 caliber muzzleloader is a single-shot, in-line rifle with no external hammer (Traditions part no. R56110460). This version carries the VAPR 1:24-inch twist barrel, a faster twist that better stabilizes bullets and widens the range of bullet choices you can shoot. The StrikerFire system cocks with a slide-forward button and de-cocks automatically when the action is opened, which allows faster lock time and lets the scope sit closer to the bore. It is built for deer season hunters who want a light, scope-ready muzzleloader with a two-stage trigger.
