The Traditions NitroBolt 50 Cal is a modern bolt-action muzzleloader built for hunters and precision shooters who want contemporary rifle handling married to traditional muzzleloading. This 50-caliber rifle represents a significant departure from ramrod-and-ball hunting—it accepts Federal Premium Firestick encapsulated powder charges loaded from the breech, letting you load a bullet from the muzzle in seconds without measuring powder or managing loose charges. The 24-inch fluted chromoly steel barrel wears a 1:24 VAPR twist and Tungsten Cerakote finish, with a 3/4-24 threaded muzzle ready for a brake or suppressor (sold separately).
What sets the NitroBolt apart is its engineering focus on repeatable accuracy and shooter control. A pillar-bedded, free-floating barrel keeps harmonics consistent shot to shot. The action itself is robust: three locking lugs, a 60-degree bolt handle, patented extractor designed for Firestick rounds, and a cocking indicator keep you informed of the bolt status. A 3-position safety and quick disassembly (allen-key operation, cleanable in minutes) reflect modern maintenance expectations. The black synthetic stock features 12-position adjustable cheek piece and variable length of pull (14.5" to 13.75"), so it adapts to your build and optic height. The rifle ships drilled and tapped for a scope base and includes a solid aluminum ramrod with Quick-T handle.
This is purpose-built gear for extended-range muzzleloading—whether you're chasing elk in September or setting up for late-season precision work. Firestick ammunition compatibility means cleaner ignition, weather-proof loads, and zero loose-powder mess in the field.

The NitroBolt is designed around Federal Premium Firestick encapsulated powder charges. These polymer-cased rounds contain clean-burning Hodgdon Triple Eight powder and are loaded from the breech. You load the powder charge at the breech and the bullet at the muzzle. Firesticks are moisture-proof and deliver consistent ignition; you'll need to supply a 209 shotgun primer (not included).
Yes. The barrel features 3/4-24 threading at the muzzle, which is standard for modern muzzleloader accessories. Brakes, suppressors, and other muzzle devices designed to that specification can be threaded on. These items are sold separately.
The NitroBolt ships drilled and tapped for scope mounting and includes a scope base. You'll need to source rings and your optic separately, but the preparation is complete.
Yes. The black synthetic stock includes an adjustable cheek piece with 12 positions of adjustment and a variable length of pull that ranges from 14.5 inches down to 13.75 inches, allowing you to dial in a custom fit for your body and shooting position.
