The new NitroFire and FireStick system keeps ignition consistent by protecting the powder, even during storage; the loading process is easy, and the primer can be left in the FireStick or removed without compromising the charge; and the system doesn’t restrict the choice of bullets and 209 muzzleloader primers, meaning hunters can stick with proven favorites.

The B-14 Wilderness Terrain is an extremely accurate rifle that is built to withstand the ruggedness of the backcountry.

Our Muzzleloader of the Year, the CVA Paramount, is built for long-range hunters.

Here’s a look at the revolutionary new firearms, optics and gear for 2020 that will change the way you hunt.

The all-new FireStick gives not only the consistency any muzzleloading rifle aficionado will appreciate, but this may the most weatherproof system of charging that has ever been developed.

Traditions has partnered with Federal Premium and Hodgdon Powder to create a muzzleloader which promises added safety, reliability and consistency.

Federal's new FireStick is the critical component of a whole new muzzleloading ignition system that uses an encapsulated propellant charge that loads from the breech, with the bullet inserted from the muzzle.

The Paramount is far more than your average blackpowder rifle. Designed for shots at 300 yards and beyond, it delivers the performance of a centerfire rifle in a gun that can be used during every season except bow season.

A lot has changed in the .22 market since the mid-20th century. The blowback action Winchester debuted has been refined to near-perfection. If the Wildcat is going to compete with the likes of the vaunted Ruger 10/22, it has to bring a lot to the table. Fortunately, it does.
