Traditions Deerhunter Muzzleloader Rifle .50 Cal Flintlock Black/Blued 24"$523.49
Availability: In Stock
The Traditions Deerhunter 50 caliber flintlock muzzleloading rifle brings straightforward, no-nonsense performance to hunters and shooters who want reliable black powder accuracy without the complexity or expense of modern centerfire systems. Built with a 24-inch octagonal barrel and 1:48-inch twist rate, this rifle is equally at home launching full-bore lead bullets, saboted projectiles, or patched round balls—giving you flexibility in how you hunt and what you can harvest. Whether you're new to flintlock shooting or returning to traditional methods after years away, the Deerhunter's balance of affordability, accuracy, and ease of use makes it a genuine option for serious hunters.
This is a rifle engineered for the field. The octagonal barrel profile provides the rigid performance you need for tight groups while keeping overall weight manageable for all-day hunting. The synthetic or wood stock options both deliver solid ergonomics and handling, with a design that doesn't sacrifice comfort to get the job done. Williams Fiber Optic sights are factory-installed and fully adjustable, using bright fiber optics to cut through morning woods and low-light conditions where deer often move—a real advantage over plain metal sights when the sun isn't fully up.
The trigger breaks clean and crisp, essential for precision when the moment comes. A non-slip recoil pad absorbs the kick of black powder discharge, and the synthetic ramrod eliminates the maintenance headaches of wood. This is flintlock shooting stripped of pretense: solid construction, proven mechanics, and the kind of accuracy that lets you hunt confidently inside reasonable ranges.

Yes. The Williams Fiber Optic sights use bright fiber optic elements to gather and reflect available light, making them easier to pick up and aim in early morning and late evening hunting conditions compared to plain metal sights.
The Deerhunter is designed to be approachable for shooters of all experience levels.
