Traditions Buckstalker XT .50 Cal 24" Stainless Cerakote Muzzleloader with Black Synthetic Stock

The Traditions Buckstalker XT .50 caliber muzzleloader is built for hunters who want a modern, dependable inline rifle without the complexity of in-line ignition headaches. This .50 cal muzzleloader uses a 209 primer for reliable ignition, pairs a 24-inch stainless Cerakote barrel with a black synthetic stock, and delivers the kind of weather resistance and low-maintenance finish that works just as hard as you do in the field. Whether you're a dedicated muzzleloader enthusiast or a rifle hunter exploring the versatility of black powder during extended seasons, the Buckstalker XT gives you a straightforward, purpose-built platform.

The stainless Cerakote barrel resists rust and corrosion in damp conditions—a real advantage if your hunting takes you through wet timber or across rainy ridges. The black synthetic stock keeps weight down and shrugs off the bumps and weather that wood can't handle. The 24-inch barrel strikes a practical balance between sight radius, maneuverability in thick cover, and ballistic performance. Everything about this rifle is designed to get out of your way and let you focus on the hunt.

Traditions has been making muzzleloaders for generations, and the Buckstalker XT carries that heritage into modern hunting. If you're looking for a no-frills, hard-working .50 caliber muzzleloader that pairs reliability with field-proven design, this rifle deserves a closer look.
