Video: Traditions NitroBolt Muzzleloader

posted on February 5, 2025

Traditions has introduced the NitroBolt, the first bolt-action muzzleloading rifle designed specifically to use the patented Federal FireStick ignition system, so hunters need only load their bullet of choice. The .50-caliber rifle comes with a base to mount your riflescope of choice, and its barrel is threaded for use with a muzzle brake or suppressor. The best part? The FireStick ejects when the bolt is opened--no more fumbling around trying to pry it out in the dark.

The NitroBolt’s 24-inch chrome-moly steel barrel is free-floated on pillar bedding built within the stock. It is fluted and tapered, and cut with a 1:24-inch VAPR twist. The bolt features three locking lugs, and its 60-degree lift makes it incredibly fast to run. Its three-position safety keeps the gun completely safe during use, while acocking indicator signals when the gun is loaded with a patented FireStick. The bolt can be disassembled in seconds for cleaning, which is a real boon when maintaining the gun in deer camp. Finally, the gun's length of pull and cheekpiece are adjustable so hunters can mold the gun to their own particular stature.
