Traditions Pursuit XT 50 Cal Muzzleloader with 3-9x40mm Duplex Scope, Stainless Barrel, Black Synthetic Stock, Elite XT Trigger

The Traditions Pursuit XT 50 Cal Muzzleloader pairs a modern, practical rifle platform with a dedicated 3-9x40mm Duplex scope for hunters ready to leverage the extended seasons and close-range advantages that black powder hunting offers. Built around a stainless steel barrel and finished with a black synthetic stock, this rifle is engineered to handle field conditions without fuss—no fussy wood finishes to babysit, no rust surprises after a wet hunt. The Elite XT Trigger gives you a clean, manageable break, which matters when a whitetail is quartering toward you at thirty yards and you need a shot you can trust.

If you're new to muzzleloading or transitioning from inline to traditional-profile black powder hunting, the Pursuit XT strips away the learning curve. The included 3-9x40mm scope with Duplex reticle is zeroed and ready to go—no guessing games or scope shopping. That magnification range lets you work everything from thick timber where brush gets between you and the target to more open country where you might stretch your effective range. Stainless construction resists corrosion from black powder residue and damp conditions, a practical choice for a rifle that will spend more time in the field than on the shelf.

Muzzleloading seasons often overlap late fall and early winter, sometimes landing in seasons when conventional rifle hunting is closed. If you hunt multiple seasons or want to maximize your time afield, adding a dedicated black powder rifle to your battery makes sense. The Pursuit XT delivers that capability without premium pricing or the need for a gunsmith visit to get running.
