Description
You’re in the stand before dawn, the Missouri woods silent. That’s when you need a muzzleloader that’s ready, not a project. The Traditions Black Powder Vortek StrikerFire Drury Outdoors Package .50 Caliber 28″ Barrel CeraKote Finish 3-9x40mm Nikon InLine XR Scope Hogue Soft Touch Overmold Stock Mossy Oak New Treestand Camo is a complete, hunter-ready system designed for one thing: connecting on the shot that matters. It’s a .50 caliber in-line muzzleloader built for modern hunters who demand reliability and a clean, simple ignition system, all wrapped in a camo package that disappears in the timber.
Here’s the thing—this isn’t a bare rifle you have to piece together. The Drury Outdoors Package comes to you as a complete kit, with a premium Nikon scope already mounted. The heart of the system is the Vortek StrikerFire action, which uses a unique striker-fired ignition for a clean, consistent break every time. Paired with the 28-inch barrel, it’s built for accuracy with modern black powder substitutes or pellets. The entire metal surface is protected by a tough CeraKote finish, which shrugs off moisture and scratches to keep the action smooth season after season. At a total package price of $709.60, it represents a significant value over sourcing each component separately.
Let’s talk about what you’re actually holding. The Hogue Soft Touch Overmold stock is a major upgrade. It provides a firm, non-slip grip in all weather conditions, whether you’re wearing gloves or not. The Mossy Oak New Treestand camo pattern is highly effective for our Midwestern hardwood and pine environments. Up top, the Nikon InLine XR 3-9x40mm scope is specifically engineered for muzzleloaders, with a BDC reticle calibrated for the trajectory of a .50 caliber projectile. The best part? It’s all assembled and ready. This package fits out of the box, requiring no gunsmithing to get from the safe to the field. The rifle weighs in at approximately 7.5 lbs, giving it a solid, steady feel offhand or from a rest.

Pros: The complete, ready-to-hunt package eliminates guesswork. The StrikerFire system is simple and reliable. The Hogue stock and CeraKote finish are premium, durable features. The included Nikon scope is purpose-built and a perfect match. Cons: As a muzzleloader, it requires cleaning after use. It’s a single-shot platform. The 28-inch barrel can be a bit long for maneuvering in extremely tight blinds.
This rifle is for the dedicated Missouri hunter who participates in the special muzzleloader seasons and wants a no-excuses tool. It’s for the shooter who appreciates the tradition of black powder but demands modern reliability and ergonomics. It’s also an excellent choice for a hunter looking to extend their time in the woods without investing in a completely separate centerfire rifle system. This package is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
