Traditions Kentucky Rifle Percussion .50 Cal

The Kentucky Rifle represents the marriage of classic American gunmaking tradition with genuine field performance. This is a rifle that honors its heritage while delivering the accuracy and reliability that made the original Kentucky rifles legendary.

Barrel and Accuracy

The 33.5" octagonal barrel is rifled with a 1:66" twist, the proper rate for patched-ball loads. This configuration provides the long sighting plane essential for precision shooting—the blade front sight and fixed notch rear sight are positioned to maximize your ability to place shots accurately at hunting distances.

Lock and Ignition

The color case hardened lock features a V-type mainspring engineered for fast, reliable lock time. The percussion ignition system offers the dependability modern shooters expect while maintaining the classic appearance that defines this rifle's character.

Stock and Furniture

The full-length two-piece stock is crafted from select hardwood with a walnut finish. Solid brass buttplate and embellishments accent the wood, creating a rifle that is as pleasing to the eye as it is functional in the field. The single trigger provides a clean, predictable break.

Versatility

Whether you're heading afield for a day of traditional muzzleloading or prefer to display this rifle as a testament to American gunmaking heritage, the Kentucky Rifle delivers on both counts.
