The Traditions Vortek StrikerFire LDR is outfitted with a VAPR twist barrel. The faster twist rate will better stabilize bullets, increase accuracy and expand the range of bullet options that can be shot out of this muzzleloader. The 30" barrel allows for a longer powder burn which translates to increased velocity, better consistency and improved downrange accuracy. A feature on the StrikerFire is the TAC Trigger System - a two stage competition-style trigger. Other features include the 1 piece Accelerator Breech Plug, Dual Safety System and Speed Load System. Included is the Quick-T Ramrod Handle. It functions like a palm saver and t-handle all in one, making it easier and more comfortable to load your rifle. *Note- Private branded scope made for Traditions is matte black, 3-9x40 with a duplex reticle.
