Traditions Buckstalker Redi-Pak .50 Cal Muzzleloading Rifle, 24" Blued Barrel, Black Synthetic Stock

The Traditions Buckstalker Redi-Pak .50 caliber muzzleloading rifle is a no-nonsense hunting package built for hunters who want to get in the field without assembling a pile of accessories. This complete in-line muzzleloader arrives ready to shoot, bundled with everything from patches and primers to cleaning supplies and fast loaders—so you're genuinely just one powder order away from the range or the stand.

The 24-inch blued barrel strikes the balance hunters actually need: short enough to maneuver through thick brush and around tight shooting positions, long enough to deliver the velocity and accuracy that count on longer shots. Traditions upgraded the proven Buckstalker platform into the XT with a premium-grade chromoly steel barrel that keeps the gun light without sacrificing strength or accuracy. The black synthetic stock handles hard use and harsh weather without the maintenance fuss of wood.

The Elite XT trigger system gives you a clean, precise break paired with a rebounding hammer and manual cross-block safety—that's a dual-safety approach that keeps this muzzleloader among the safest options in the category. The Accelerator Breech Plug is a genuine convenience: it unscrews by hand in three turns (no tools needed) and fires both loose powder and pellets, so you can adapt to what you have on hand or prefer for ballistics. The included Quick-T Ramrod Handle does double duty, functioning as both a comfortable loading tool and a functional cleaning rod when the brass jag attachment is screwed in.

Note: this rifle does not ship with open sights or a scope base, so plan to add a front and rear sight or mount optics separately. Once you do, you're hunting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ammunition and primers do I need to use?

The Buckstalker XT fires .50 caliber bullets and requires 209 shotgun primers. The Redi-Pak includes a 209 capper and three tubes of Traditions XTP bullets to get you started, but you'll need to source your own powder (both loose and pelletized powder work in the Accelerator Breech Plug) and additional primers and bullets for extended shooting.

Does this muzzleloader come with sights?

No, the Buckstalker XT does not include open sights or a scope base. You'll need to purchase and install sights or a scope mounting system separately based on your hunting or range setup.

Can I use both loose powder and pellets in this rifle?

Yes. The stainless steel Accelerator Breech Plug fires both loose and pelletized powder, so you have flexibility in how you load depending on what you prefer or have available.

Is everything I need to clean and maintain the rifle included?

The Redi-Pak bundle includes a solid starter set of cleaning supplies: dry patches, a nylon breech brush, a cleaning jag, nipple pick, bore solvent, and breech plug grease. You'll have what you need for basic field and home maintenance right out of the box.
