Introducing the enhanced Vortek StrikerFire with the new VAPR twist barrel featuring a 1:24 inches twist rate, designed to stabilize bullets more effectively and expand your range of ammunition options for unparalleled accuracy. The StrikerFire System simplifies operation, simply slide the striker button forward to cock the rifle and the recessed de-cocking buttons allow for quiet de-cocking. An automatic de-cocking mechanism activates when the gun is opened, enhancing safety and convenience. By eliminating the external hammer, the StrikerFire offers faster lock time and allows for mounting scopes closer to the bore, all while reducing overall weight. It features the TAC2 trigger system, a two-stage competition-style trigger that sets a new standard for muzzleloaders. Additional standard features include the 1-piece Accelerator Breech Plug, dual safety system and Speed Load System, ensuring reliable performance up to 200+ yd. Included with the rifle is the Quick-T ramrod handle, serving as both a palm saver and T-handle for easier and more comfortable loading. The handle includes a t-shaped piece with a brass jag that doubles as a work or cleaning rod, conveniently stored on the rifle's ramrod in the storage position.
