Traditions Vortek StrikerFire is equipped with the VAPR twist barrel which has a 1:24 twist. This faster twist rate will better stabilize bullets, increase accuracy, and also expand the range of bullet options that can be shot out of this muzzleloader. The Vortek StrikerFire is set apart by the patented StrikerFire system which replaces the external hammer, allowing you to cock the rifle quickly and quietly with the push of a button. To de-cock, simply press the recessed de-cocking button or open the action to automatically de-cock the rifle. This series also features a Chromoly steel barrel, Premium CeraKote Finish, TAC-2 Trigger System, Hogue Comfort Grip Overmolding, Dual Safety System, Accelerator Breech Plug which removes by hand and allows for use of loose or pelletized powder, Speed Load System, and more.
