Traditions Pursuit VAPR XT 26" 50 Cal Muzzleloader

The Traditions Pursuit VAPR XT: Modern Muzzleloading Excellence

The Traditions Pursuit VAPR XT represents a significant step forward in muzzleloader design, combining modern materials with practical field features that work for both experienced hunters and those new to black powder shooting.

Weight and Handling

At just 5.5 pounds, this rifle delivers exceptional maneuverability without sacrificing balance. The slim-lined receiver and tapered 26" Ultralight barrel create a rifle that feels natural in your hands during long days afield. The wider fore-end provides a secure grip and ideal hand positioning, while integrated grips ensure the rifle stays firm even in harsh weather conditions.

Durability and Protection

The barrel and action feature Cerakote coating, which provides 50% greater corrosion resistance than traditional stainless steel. This durable finish extends the life of your rifle and maintains its appearance through seasons of use.

Ignition and Loading System

The break-action design opens with a fast-action release button for quick access. The NW Accelerator Breech Plug requires only three hand twists—no tools needed. The Speed Load System ensures consistent bullet starting and more predictable shot groups. The innovative Quick-T Ramrod Handle functions as both a palm saver and T-handle, screwing onto your ramrod for comfortable loading and cleaning, then sliding on for convenient storage.

Safety Features

Dual safety systems—internal hammer block safety and trigger block safety—make this one of the safest rifles available. You can hunt with confidence knowing multiple safety mechanisms protect against accidental discharge.

Ballistic Performance

The 1:24" fast-twist barrel is engineered to stabilize high ballistic coefficient muzzleloading bullets, giving you the accuracy and performance needed for ethical hunting at extended ranges.

Ideal For

Whether you're a seasoned muzzleloader enthusiast or exploring black powder hunting for the first time, the Pursuit VAPR XT delivers quality, reliability, and ease of use at an accessible price point.
