Traditions Pursuit XT Muzzleloader
The Pursuit XT represents a significant step forward in modern muzzleloading technology. This .50 caliber rifle combines proven engineering with practical features designed for both experienced hunters and shooters new to black powder.
Barrel and Accuracy
The 26-inch chromoly steel barrel is ultralight yet rigid, providing the strength needed for consistent accuracy without unnecessary weight. The VAPR 1:24 twist rate is faster than traditional muzzleloader barrels, which accomplishes two critical objectives: it stabilizes a wider range of projectiles and extends your effective shooting distance. This twist rate flexibility means you can experiment with different bullet weights and styles to find what works best for your hunting or target shooting needs.
Trigger and Safety
The Elite XT trigger system delivers a crisp, predictable pull that enhances accuracy. The rebounding hammer returns to a safe position after firing, and the manual cross-block safety provides positive mechanical protection. This combination of features gives you confidence in both performance and security.
Ignition and Powder Compatibility
The rifle uses standard 209 shotgun primers for reliable ignition. The Accelerator breech plug and Speed Load System work together to simplify the loading process. You can use either loose black powder or convenient pelletized powder—the rifle handles both equally well.
Practical Features
The Quick-T ramrod handle is a genuine innovation. It functions as both a palm saver and T-handle, making loading more comfortable during extended shooting sessions. The screw-in brass jag converts the ramrod into a cleaning rod when needed. The Quick Relief recoil pad reduces felt recoil and improves shooting comfort.
Finish and Construction
The burnt bronze Cerakote finish on the barrel provides excellent corrosion resistance and a professional appearance. The LT-1 alloy frame keeps overall weight down while maintaining durability.
