Traditions Crackshot XBR .22 Cal Break Action Rifle - Black (CRX6220060)

The Traditions Crackshot XBR .22 cal break-action rifle is a genuinely unique offering: it's a single-shot .22 designed for small game hunting that transforms into a centerfire arrow launcher thanks to a swappable upper receiver. If you've ever wished your rifle could do double duty—or just wanted to explore a different hunting platform without doubling your gear locker—this break-action rifle delivers exactly that flexibility. The package includes the Crackshot .22 rifle with a 16.5-inch barrel, the detachable XBR upper in .27 caliber long with a 20-inch barrel, a mounted 4x32 scope, and three Firebolt arrows to get you started.

The .22 side handles small game the way a lightweight rifle should: easy to carry, minimal recoil, and plenty of accuracy for plinking or hunting squirrel and rabbit. Swap to the XBR upper and you're shooting Traditions Firebolt arrows downrange at up to 385 feet per second—low recoil, low noise, and compatible with field tips or broadheads depending on your quarry. Both platforms use Traditions' Elite XT trigger system, which features a rebounding hammer and manual cross-bolt safety that lets you safely open the action and inspect or load the chamber.

The XBR's design keeps things practical: arrows load over a protected inner barrel, and the action breaks open to accept Traditions XBR Powerloads (sold separately). The rifle breaks down for cleaning and is built light enough to carry all day. This is the kind of versatile, do-it-yourself rifle that appeals to hunters who like having options and aren't afraid to think outside the conventional caliber box.

Is this rifle good for small game hunting?
