The Traditions NitroFire w/Scope .50 Cal 209 Primer – 26" Gray Cerakote Fluted & Tapered Barrel, Drilled & Tapped Receiver, Realtree Edge Fixed Synthetic Stock, 3-9x40mm Duplex Scope (CR5841104421, UPC: 040589029665) is a modern, hunt-ready muzzleloader package built for serious black powder hunters who want precision, reliability, and convenience right out of the box. With a factory-mounted 3-9x40mm scope, Cerakote protection, and the innovative Firestick ignition system, this rifle arrives ready to go from the case to the field with minimal setup.
Complete Ready-to-Hunt Muzzleloader Package
Instead of piecing together a muzzleloader and optics separately, the NitroFire w/Scope gives you a matched, pre-mounted setup:
3-9x40mm duplex reticle scope included
Scope is mounted and boresighted at the factory by trained technicians on many listings
Drilled & tapped receiver ensures a solid mounting platform
This means you can spend less time on the bench, and more time zeroing, scouting, and hunting.
.50 Caliber NitroFire with Firestick & 209 Primer Ignition
The NitroFire platform was the first muzzleloader designed for the Federal Premium Firestick encapsulated powder charge, and this scoped model continues that innovation.
Uses .50 caliber projectiles loaded from the muzzle
Powder is contained in a Firestick polymer capsule, inserted from the breech
Ignition is via a 209 shotgun primer in the Firestick (primer and Firestick sold separately)
Advantages of the Firestick system:
Consistent pre-measured powder charges for repeatable performance
Weather-resistant design – encapsulated powder is protected from moisture
Simple and safe loading/unloading: remove the Firestick to safely clear the rifle
For hunters who want the power and challenge of a muzzleloader with modern reliability, Firestick + NitroFire is a game-changing combo.
VAPR Twist 26" Chromoly Fluted & Tapered Barrel
This NitroFire configuration features the upgraded VAPR Twist barrel:
26" Chromoly steel barrel for strength and durability
Fluted and tapered profile to shed weight, balance the rifle, and aid barrel cooling
VAPR™ twist (1:24") in many VAPR variants, engineered to better stabilize a wide range of bullets for improved accuracy
This twist rate helps tighten groups and extend effective range, especially when paired with modern saboted projectiles and the consistent ignition of Firestick.
Gray Cerakote Finish – Built for Harsh Weather
The gray Cerakote finish on the barrel (and often receiver) provides a tough outer shell built to handle the worst field conditions:
Excellent corrosion resistance in rain, snow, and humidity
Scratch and wear resistance, helping your muzzleloader look better for longer
Low-glare finish that reduces visual signature in bright conditions
For hunters who chase whitetails, elk, or other big game in unpredictable weather, Cerakote is a huge plus for longevity and reliability.
Realtree Edge Fixed Synthetic Stock – Tough, Lightweight & Concealing
The stock on this NitroFire is a fixed synthetic design in Realtree Edge camo:
Synthetic construction resists warping, swelling, or cracking in wet or cold weather
Realtree Edge camo pattern helps you blend into timber, brush, and mixed terrain environments
Textured grip and forend for a secure hold with gloves or wet hands
Lightweight design keeps the rifle manageable on long hikes and all-day sits
Paired with the Cerakote barrel, this stock makes the NitroFire a truly all-weather, all-season hunting tool.
Elite XT Trigger System – Crisp, Hunting-Optimized Performance
Traditions equips this NitroFire with their Elite XT™ trigger system, designed specifically for hunters:
Crisp, clean break for more precise shooting
Rebounding hammer for added safety
Manual cross-block trigger safety for extra peace of mind in the field
Integrated design helps align internal parts for consistent, reliable ignition
Combined with the Firestick system and scope, this trigger setup helps squeeze every bit of accuracy out of your muzzleloader.
Break-Open Action, Single-Shot Simplicity
Mechanically, the NitroFire is a break-open, single-shot muzzleloader with:
Fast action release button for easy opening
Single-shot capacity – one projectile and one Firestick charge at a time
209 primer ignition system designed around Federal Firestick usage
This straightforward design minimizes moving parts and complexity while focusing on reliability and that one critical shot.
Optics-Ready Receiver & 3-9x40mm Duplex Scope
While the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, this package includes a 3-9x40mm duplex scope already installed:
Versatile 3-9x magnification range for close to medium-range hunting
40mm objective for a bright image during dawn and dusk
Duplex reticle for a clean, uncluttered sight picture
Most dealers ship these rifles with the scope mounted and boresighted, leaving you just a short sight-in session away from being field-ready.
