Traditions Firearms Introduces Nitrofire Muzzleloader With Firestick System
Traditions Performance Firearms continues to be at the forefront of innovation and remain focused on making muzzleloading safer, more accurate, and more reliable. Traditions recognized the need to take muzzleloading to the next level and the new NitroFire muzzleloader does just that. NitroFire muzzleloaders have begun arriving at Traditions dealers and will be available throughout all distribution levels.
The NitroFire is .50 caliber and has a 26” ultralight chromoly steel fluted and tapered barrel, 1:28” twist rifling, Dual Safety System, and many other features. It is equipped with Traditions new Elite XT trigger system. The Elite XT trigger system is designed with a rebounding hammer and a manual cross-block trigger safety. The MSRP for the NitroFire ranges from $549-$1202.
The NEW NitroFire is the only muzzleloader on the market that uses the NEW Firestick system by Federal Premium. The Firestick is an encapsulated polymer powder charge filled with Hodgdon Triple Eight powder. Simply load your bullet from the muzzle then insert the Firestick into the breech of the Traditions NitroFire rifle. The Firestick is impervious to moisture and has the same tight tolerances and quality controls as loaded ammunition.
Traditions President Tom Hall says “The NitroFire and Firestick system provides a safer muzzleloading experience which has always been a focus for Traditions. This system helps to eliminate the risk of accidentally over-charging your muzzleloader as well as increasing reliability and accuracy. The Firestick System combined with the features of the NitroFire truly makes for a revolutionary muzzleloader. We are excited to have the NitroFire in the marketplace.”
