Traditions Pursuit XT 50 Cal Muzzleloader, 26" Stainless Cerakote, Mossy Oak Break-Up Country Synthetic Stock, 3-9x40 Scope

The Traditions Pursuit XT 50 Cal muzzleloader brings modern engineering to traditional hunting. Built on a 26-inch Chromoly steel barrel with a 1:24 VAPR twist, this rifle balances lightweight handling with the accuracy you need for consistent 200+ yard performance. The stainless Cerakote finish stands up to field conditions, while the Mossy Oak Break-Up Country synthetic stock gives you a secure, comfortable grip in any season. At just 5.75 pounds, the Pursuit XT is nimble enough for a full day of hunting without wearing you down.

What sets the Pursuit XT apart is its attention to the details that matter in the field. The Elite XT trigger system delivers a clean, precise pull, backed by a rebounding hammer and manual cross-block safety for confidence when you need it. The Quick-T ramrod handle works like a hybrid palm saver and T-handle—no fumbling around with separate tools. And because it accepts both loose and pelletized powder through the Accelerator Breech Plug, you can load however works best for you. The rifle comes from the factory drilled and tapped for optics and includes a 3-9x40 Traditions Duplex scope mounted and boresighted, so you're ready to glass and shoot right out of the box.

The Pursuit XT is purpose-built for 50-caliber black powder hunting. Its 209 shotgun primer ignition is proven reliable, and the faster 1:24 twist opens up your bullet options without sacrificing accuracy. Whether you're hunting whitetail in early season or sitting a stand in deep November, this muzzleloader gives you the speed, weight, and trigger control to make the shot when it matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included with the Pursuit XT, and is it ready to hunt out of the box?

The rifle ships with a 3-9x40 Traditions Duplex scope already mounted and boresighted, so you can get to the range or field quickly. It does not include iron sights. The Quick-T ramrod handle is installed, and you'll need to supply your own powder, primers, and bullets.

Can I use both loose and pelletized powder in this muzzleloader?

Yes. The Accelerator Breech Plug is compatible with both loose powder and pelletized loads, giving you flexibility in how you prefer to load.

What twist rate does the Pursuit XT barrel have, and why does it matter?

The barrel features a 1:24 VAPR twist, which is faster than traditional muzzleloader twists. This faster spin rate stabilizes bullets more aggressively, improves accuracy, and allows you to shoot a wider range of bullet weights and designs without sacrificing performance.

Is the Pursuit XT suitable for long-range hunting?

The Pursuit XT is designed to deliver consistent accuracy out to 200+ yards, making it well-suited for typical rifle hunting ranges. The combination of the Chromoly barrel, 1:24 twist, and included scope supports that performance.
