Traditions Vortek StrikerFire VAPR Muzzleloader Rifle
The Traditions Vortek StrikerFire VAPR represents a significant advancement in the realm of muzzleloading firearms. By eliminating the traditional external hammer, this rifle integrates an innovative internal StrikerFire System. This system mimics the operation of modern center-fire safeties, allowing users to cock the firearm effortlessly by sliding the striker button forward until it locks securely.
One of its notable features is a recessed de-cocking button that facilitates quick and silent de-cocking—a critical advantage when stealth is essential. Additionally, an automatic de-cocking mechanism ensures that when opened, the firearm is inherently safe and ready for handling without manual intervention.
The absence of an external hammer not only accelerates lock times but also permits closer scope mounting to the bore axis—optimizing balance and reducing overall weight. The innovative stock design further contributes to making this rifle one of the lightest in its category while maintaining structural integrity and durability.
This model boasts a 1:24" fast twist barrel specifically engineered for stabilizing high ballistic coefficient (BC) bullets used in modern muzzleloading applications. Its Premium Burnt Bronze CeraKote finish paired with a Veil Wideland Camo stock provides both aesthetic appeal and practical camouflage utility.
Enhanced versatility comes from its one-piece Accelerator Breech Plug, accommodating both loose powder or pelletized charges seamlessly without necessitating breech plug alterations. Safety remains paramount with a Dual Safety System complemented by mounted adjustable fiber optic sights for precision aiming under varying conditions.
The Speed Load System incorporated within this model streamlines loading procedures while ensuring consistent shot groupings—a crucial feature for accuracy enthusiasts seeking reliable performance time after time.
