The Pro Series builds around its customizable system for hunters and shooters. It includes an adjustable cheek piece that easily raises or lowers via turning a screw on the stock. Length of pull adjusts by adding or removing spacers from the buttstock. Collectively, the features ensure a tailored for for enhanced comfort and performance in field settings.
All Pro Series models come equipped with a threaded barrel, allowing the use of a muzzle brake. The Pro Series Muzzle Brake mates with NitroFire and Pursuit XT rifles.

Editor’s Take
Muzzleloaders have come along way in the last few decades, with Traditions remaining one of the driving forces in that innovation. Just a couple of years ago, the NitroFire made us all reevaluate what a muzzleloader was and how it loaded. Meanwhile, innovative products like the Crackshot XBR challenged the idea of just what hunting gear really is and what it delivers to the hunter.
The Pro Series upgrade brings something different. At first glance, this package delivers performance. It enables hunters to dial in the rifle as they actually need it, fitting it to a specific treestand or ground blind shot, or reducing the effects of recoil or smoke. We love how they keep pushing the envelope, typically answering questions actually asked by hunters themselves. We hope to pop some smoke with one of the new Pro Series rifle for a full eval real soon.
