Introducing the Traditions NitroFire®, a groundbreaking advancement in the world of muzzleloading firearms. This rifle, born from collaboration with Federal Premium® and Hodgdon®, redefines accuracy and ease of use for both seasoned hunters and enthusiasts new to black powder firearms.
The NitroFire® is chambered in .50 caliber, featuring a 26-inch Chromoly steel fluted and tapered barrel. A key innovation here is the VAPR™ Twist technology—a 1:24" rifling twist rate that stabilizes bullets with precision, expanding your range of effective projectile options. The result? Improved accuracy downrange where it matters most.
A hallmark of this model is its integration with the Firestick™, an encapsulated polymer charge filled with clean-burning Hodgdon Triple Eight powder. Loading has never been more straightforward or reliable—insert your bullet through the muzzle, break open the action to place your Firestick into the breech, insert a 209 shotgun primer (not included), close up—and you're ready to shoot.
The Traditions Elite XT™ trigger system complements these features by offering a crisp break optimized for hunting scenarios while incorporating essential safety mechanisms like a rebounding hammer and cross-block trigger safety. With its robust synthetic stocks finished in Premium CeraKote™, this firearm boasts durability against harsh elements encountered during backcountry expeditions or humid hunts alike.
This package includes no sights but comes equipped with scope bases ready for customization according to personal preference—an ideal setup when paired alongside optics such as those within our duplex scopes lineup (sold separately).
