Traditions Outfitter G3 .45-70 Gov't Rifle
The Outfitter G3 represents a modern approach to classic break-action rifle design, purpose-built for hunters who demand reliability, accuracy, and portability in the field.
Design and Construction
This is a single-shot, break-action centerfire rifle engineered specifically for whitetail and large game hunting. The design philosophy emphasizes lightweight construction without sacrificing durability or performance. The receiver is drilled and tapped steel, ready for scope mounting, and the action breaks open smoothly for straightforward loading and unloading.
Barrel and Accuracy
The heart of the Outfitter G3 is its 22-inch premium Lothar Walther chromoly barrel, featuring a fluted profile that reduces weight while maintaining rigidity. The barrel is threaded for muzzle device compatibility and employs a 1:20-inch rate of twist optimized for .45-70 Government ammunition. This combination delivers the accuracy hunters expect from a modern rifle.
Trigger System
Traditions' Elite XT trigger system sets this rifle apart. It features a rebounding hammer, captive half-cock position, and manual cross-block safety. The safety design allows you to open the action while engaged, enabling safe chamber inspection and ammunition handling without disengaging the safety.
Practical Features
- Muzzle Brake: Reduces felt recoil for more comfortable shooting
- Quick-Detach Forend: Patent-pending design removes with a button press for compact field carry
- Black Synthetic Stock: Durable, weather-resistant furniture that won't swell or warp
- Stainless Cerakote Finish: Provides exceptional corrosion resistance and durability
Field Ready
The Outfitter G3 is designed to be carried all day in the field. Its lightweight profile and quick-detach forend make it easy to maneuver through brush and timber. The synthetic stock and Cerakote finish stand up to harsh hunting conditions.
Note: Check local regulations regarding .45-70 Government use in your area before hunting.
