Introducing the upgraded Vortek StrikerFire with the new VAPR twist barrel featuring a faster 1:24 inches twist rate. This enhancement ensures superior bullet stabilization, improved accuracy and expands the range of compatible bullet options for this muzzleloader. The StrikerFire System simplifies operation, simply slide the striker button forward to cock the rifle and utilize the recessed de-cocking button for quiet de-cocking. An automatic de-cocking mechanism activates when the gun is opened, eliminating the need for an external hammer. This design reduces lock time, allows for closer scope mounting and minimizes overall weight. Enhancing precision, the TAC2 trigger system offers a two-stage competition-style trigger, a significant upgrade over typical muzzleloader triggers. Other trusted features include the 1-piece Accelerator Breech Plug, dual safety system and Speed Load System, ensuring reliability and ease of use at distances up to 200+ yd. Included is the Quick-T ramrod handle, combining a palm saver and T-handle for comfortable and efficient loading. It features a t-shaped piece with a brass jag for versatile use as a work or cleaning rod, conveniently stored on the rifle's ramrod when not in use.
