Cal Nw Musket S/S Cera/Blacktraditions Buckstalker Xt 50

The Traditions Buckstalker XT Northwest Magnum is a .50 caliber inline muzzleloader purpose-built for hunters in Idaho and Oregon who need a rifle that meets state-specific regulations. This compact, 24-inch barreled design balances maneuverability in tight timber with the capability to reach across open country—a real advantage when you're hunting terrain where your next good opportunity could be 50 yards or 150 yards away. The stainless steel construction pairs durability with lighter weight, so you're not dragging extra pounds through the brush on a long day afield.

What sets the Buckstalker XT apart is the attention to mechanical reliability. The Elite XT Trigger system delivers a crisp, predictable break, while the rebounding hammer and manual cross-block safety give you genuine security in the field—no guessing whether your rifle is really safe. The Accelerator Breech Plug unscrews by hand in three turns, no tools needed, and it accepts both loose and pelletized powder, so you can load however you prefer. Whether you're priming a hunting rifle on the truck bed or breaking down after a successful day, simplicity matters.

The rifle ships with William fiber-optic metal open sights already mounted, so you're ready to head to the range straight out of the box. It also includes the Quick-T Ramrod Handle—a dual-function design that works as both a comfortable palm saver during loading and a traditional T-handle for cleaning and maintenance. That kind of thoughtful engineering is what separates a rifle you genuinely enjoy using from one that feels like a chore.

If you hunt in the Northwest and need a muzzleloader that respects state regs while delivering accuracy and reliability, the Buckstalker XT Northwest Magnum deserves a serious look. It's a purpose-driven tool for serious hunters.
