Item # 161459 Style TRD-R5-56110460 UPC 040589028231 Condition New Manufacturer [Traditions](https://www.kygunco.com/brand/traditions) Model Vortek Strikerfire Caliber 50 Caliber Action Muzzleloaders Barrel Length 28 in ### [Traditions Vortek StrikerFire 28" .50 Cal w/ 3-9x40 Scope - Black / Cerakote](https://www.traditionsfirearms.com/product/vortek-strikerfire-1-24-vapr-twist-50-caliber-black-premium-cerakote-finish-with-3-9x40-scope) Now outfitted with a VAPR™ twist barrel, the Vortek StrikerFire® has been upgraded to a 1:24” twist. This faster twist rate will better stabilize bullets, increase accuracy, and also expand the range of bullet options that can be shot out of this muzzleloader. The Vortek StrikerFire® comes equipped with the StrikerFire System . To cock the gun, simply slide the striker button forward until it locks and the rifle is cocked. The recessed de-cocking buttons allows for quick and quiet de-cocking of the firearm and the gun is also equipped with an automatic de-cocking mechanism - when the gun is opened, it is automatically de-cocked. By eliminating the external hammer, this allows for faster locktime, the ability to mount your scope closer to the bore and allows the gun to operate with less weight. A great future on the StrikerFire is the TAC2™ Trigger System - a two stage competition-style trigger. This trigger is an upgrade from triggers on other muzzleloaders currently on the market. The StrikerFire also has some of the same features you have come to depend on like the 1-piece Accelerator Breech Plug™, Dual Safety System, and Speed Load System. With features meant to get you out to 200+ yards, you'll never worry about accuracy with this rifle! An accessory that is included is the Quick-T™ Ramrod Handle. It functions like a palm saver and t-handle all in one, making it easier and more comfortable to load your rifle. The Quick-T™ Ramrod Handle has a t-shaped piece with brass jag that can screw in, allowing your ramrod to function like a work or cleaning rod. The Quick-T™ Ramrod Handle sits on your ramrod when it is in the storage position on your rifle. **Specifications:** - VAPR™ 1:24" Twist - 28" Ultralight Chromoly Tapered, Fluted Barrel - StrikerFire™ System - no external hammer! - StrikerFire™ Button - simply slide button forward until it locks to cock the gun - Recessed De-Cocking Button - TAC2™ Trigger System - 2 stage competition-style trigger - Accelerator Breech Plug™ - Recoil-Reducing Buttstock & Buttpad - LT-1 Alloy Frame - Hogue™ Comfort-Grip Overmolding - Speed Load System - easy loading and more consistent groups - Dual Safety System - Quick-T™ Ramrod Handle - Drilled and tapped for a scope - Sling swivel studs - 209 shotgun primer ignition - Solid aluminum ramrod ** WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
