Traditions Firearms is introducing a new rifle into their already robust muzzleloader offerings. The new Traditions Firearms ShedHorn Muzzleloader is perfect for sidelock fans who want some innovation in their firearms while retaining that old-fashioned feeling of muzzleloaders. You can’t go wrong with the accuracy and dependability that comes with all Tradition muzzleloader firearms.
The new ShedHorn rifle comes with musket cap ignition and can fire either loose powder or pyrodex. It has a lightweight and easy-to-carry design, thanks to its chromoly steel barrel. The innovation in this muzzleloader comes from its 1:28’ twist, allowing it to fire saboted and more modern projectiles. In addition to all these features, the Traditions ShedHorn rifle also includes a double set trigger, Premium CeraKote finish, fiber optic sights, and the Accelerator Breech Plug that makes cleaning it a cinch.
At first glance, the ShedHorn Muzzleloader exudes a sense of nostalgia, harking back to a bygone era of frontiersmen and pioneers. Crafted with precision and attention to detail, it boasts a rich walnut stock and an octagonal barrel. This firearm is not just a tool; it’s a work of art.
What truly sets the ShedHorn apart is its versatility. It can be configured as either a percussion or flintlock muzzleloader, allowing enthusiasts to experience both traditional ignition systems. Whether you prefer the sharp crack of flint or the reliability of percussion caps, this firearm caters to your choice.
The ShedHorn Muzzleloader serves as a bridge between the past and the present, a testament to the enduring allure of black powder firearms. It’s a symbol of craftsmanship, tradition, and the joy of connecting with history through the thrill of the hunt. For those who appreciate the finer aspects of firearms and the romance of the old west, the Traditions Firearms ShedHorn Muzzleloader stands as a worthy choice and a true collector’s piece.
The Traditions ShedHorn rifle comes in .50 caliber and is available in synthetic black, Veil Wideland camo, or wood stocks with a Premium CeraKote Finish in various colors. Starting at $468.00, you can pick yours up at the Traditions Firearms website.
