Traditions Buckstalker XT 50 Cal Muzzleloader, 24" Stainless Cerakote Barrel, Next Camo Wyld Stock, 3-9x40mm Scope

The Traditions Buckstalker XT 50 Cal muzzleloader is a modern black powder rifle built for hunters who want accuracy, reliability, and ease of use in a compact package. This .50 caliber muzzleloader combines a premium Chromoly steel barrel with intelligent design features that make it equally at home in thick brush or across open fields. The 24-inch stainless Cerakote barrel keeps the rifle maneuverable without sacrificing accuracy or strength, while the Next Camo Wyld stock provides a natural appearance and secure grip. Whether you're a seasoned muzzleloader enthusiast or stepping into black powder hunting for the first time, the Buckstalker XT delivers the performance and handling you need for deer season success.

What sets the Buckstalker XT apart is how Traditions engineered the details. The Elite XT Trigger system offers a clean, predictable break paired with a rebounding hammer and manual cross-block safety—a dual safety design that reduces the risk of accidental discharge. The Accelerator Breech Plug removes by hand in three turns, no tools required, and its one-piece stainless steel construction lets you shoot both loose powder and pelletized loads without modification. That's real flexibility in the field. The included Quick-T Ramrod Handle functions as both a palm saver and t-handle in one, turning loading into a more comfortable process; the same ramrod doubles as a cleaning tool when you need it.

This package arrives ready to hunt: the 3-9x40mm Traditions scope is already mounted and boresighted, so you can head to the range or woods without waiting for a gunsmith. The scope provides the magnification range most hunters rely on for mid-range accuracy, and the included setup means less hassle and more time behind the gun. If you prefer open sights or plan to swap optics, note that this model does not ship with iron sights.
