Traditions Pursuit XT .50 Cal Muzzleloader 26" Stainless

Traditions Pursuit XT .50 Caliber Muzzleloader

The Pursuit XT represents a significant step forward in modern muzzleloader design, combining traditional reliability with contemporary engineering for hunters and shooters who demand accuracy and ease of use.

Barrel and Accuracy

The 26-inch chromoly steel barrel is both lightweight and exceptionally strong—chromoly has been the material of choice for precision barrels for decades. The ultralight, tapered, and fluted design reduces overall weight without sacrificing rigidity or accuracy.

The VAPR 1:24 twist rate is faster than conventional muzzleloader barrels, providing superior bullet stabilization across a broad range of projectile weights and styles. This expanded compatibility means you can experiment with different hunting loads to find what works best for your game and shooting conditions.

Trigger and Safety

The Elite XT trigger system delivers a crisp, predictable trigger pull that supports precision shooting. The rebounding hammer design prevents accidental discharge, while the manual cross-block safety provides positive, intuitive control. This is a trigger system designed by shooters, for shooters.

Loading and Operation

The Speed Load System and Accelerator breech plug work together to streamline the loading process. You can use either loose powder or convenient pelletized powder—the rifle handles both equally well. The Quick-T ramrod handle functions as both a palm saver and T-handle, making loading more comfortable during extended shooting sessions. The screw-in brass jag converts your ramrod into a cleaning rod for field maintenance.

Sights and Ergonomics

Williams fiber optic sights come standard, providing excellent visibility in low-light hunting conditions. The synthetic black stock resists weather and wear, while the Quick Relief recoil pad absorbs the rifle's recoil impulse, reducing fatigue during practice or hunting.

Premium Finish

The stainless steel barrel wears a premium Cerakote finish, offering superior corrosion resistance and durability in harsh field conditions. The LT-1 alloy frame balances strength with minimal weight.

Whether you're a seasoned muzzleloader hunter or exploring the sport for the first time, the Pursuit XT delivers the accuracy, reliability, and user-friendly features that make modern muzzleloading accessible and enjoyable.
