Traditions Pursuit VAPR XT Northwest Magnum | .50 Cal | 26″

The Traditions Pursuit VAPR XT Northwest Magnum is a .50 caliber break-action muzzleloader with a 26-inch ultralight tapered and fluted Chromoly barrel. It is built to meet Idaho and Oregon musket-ignition regulations and combines a lightweight platform with a feature-rich parts set for hunters and black-powder sport shooters. The rifle includes a Premium CeraKote exterior finish, the Elite XT trigger system, and user-friendly features such as the Speed Load System and Quick-T ramrod handle.
