The Traditions Vortek StrikerFire VAPR .50 caliber muzzleloader with a 3-9×40 scope in Desert Web and Tungsten Cerakote (Traditions part no. R5-566604637) is a hammerless in-line with its optic included. It has a 28-inch fluted chromoly barrel with a 1:24 VAPR twist, and the StrikerFire action cocks with a forward slide of the striker button. Traditions lists it with a scope but without iron sights. The Desert Web pattern over a Tungsten base gives a lighter, drier-country look than the darker camo options in the line, which suits open-country hunts.

Key Specifications
