Traditions Pursuit XT 50 Cal Muzzleloader, 26" Stainless Cerakote Barrel, Black Synthetic Stock, 209 Primer

The Traditions Pursuit XT 50 Cal muzzleloader is a modern inline platform built for hunters who want lightweight accuracy without compromise. This 26" stainless Cerakote barrel rifle combines traditional muzzleloading with contemporary engineering—it weighs just 5.75 pounds, making it nimble in the stand or on the hike in. The black synthetic stock and stainless finish won't quit in bad weather, and the 209 primer ignition keeps your ignition source simple and reliable.

The Pursuit XT's barrel uses Chromoly steel construction and a faster 1:24" twist rate designed to stabilize a wider range of bullet weights and improve downrange accuracy. The Elite XT trigger system delivers a clean, predictable break paired with a rebounding hammer and manual cross-block safety—essentials for ethical, confident shooting. Setup comes easier too: the Quick-T ramrod handle works as both a loading tool and maintenance rod, making field work and range sessions less fiddly than traditional ramrod rigs.

Practical features you'll actually use include sling swivel studs for strap attachment, a wider forend for better hand position, and drilled-and-tapped receiver for scope mounting. The Accelerator breech plug handles both loose and pelletized powder, giving you flexibility in powder choice. This is a straightforward, no-frills muzzleloader for serious hunters and shooters who value reliability and accuracy over complicated gadgetry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Pursuit XT come with a scope?

No. The rifle is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, but no scope is included. You'll need to mount and bore-sight your own optic.

What's the difference between the Quick-T ramrod and a standard T-handle ramrod?

The Quick-T ramrod handle combines a loading tool and a maintenance/cleaning rod in one. It sits on the ramrod when stowed on the rifle and can function as both a palm saver during loading and a full-length rod for cleaning and bore work.

Can I use loose powder and pellets interchangeably in the Accelerator breech plug?

Yes. The Accelerator breech plug is designed to work with both loose powder and pelletized powder, giving you flexibility in powder choice depending on availability or preference.

The Pursuit XT is built for hunting. At 5.75 pounds with a compact, lightweight design, it's intended as a field gun. The accurate barrel and reliable ignition system support ethical shot placement in a hunting context.
