Traditions is well known for producing quality modern muzzleloaders, and the company currently has several different lines for today's hunters. One of the manufacturer's newest offerings is its Vortek StrikerFire, which – as its name suggests – features an internal striker fire system instead of the typical hammer.
The new Traditions Vortek StrikerFire is loaded with great features, such as a recessed push-button cocking/decocking system and a two-stage trigger that breaks at about 2 pounds. Also, brand new for 2016, the gun has received a nitride coating both on the outside and inside of the barrel to reduce fouling and overall wear and tear on the exterior.
Our friends at Deer & Deer Hunting caught up with Traditions to get a first hand look at the new gun. Watch the video above to learn more about the new Traditions Vortek StrikerFire.
