Customer Reviews for Traditions Tracker 209 Open Breech 50cal 24" Blued/Black

Great muzzleloader! Very accurate. Great price. Got my first deer ever with this! About 75-100 yards approximately. Great intro muzzleloader! Highly recommend!

Much better than I expected for the price. I replaced the sights with peep sight sold by Traditions because peep sights work better for me. Have shot at range with 250 gr 45 cal bullets with sabots, FF black powder and 209 primers. Can consistently hit 3" diameter target at 50 yards, might be better with a scope.
Easy to disassemble and clean. If you want an inexpensive rifle for muzzleloader hunting this is a good choice, should last for years.

Purchased product on Friday, arrived the following Tuesday, well packaged and in good condition. Tracker 209 shoots extremely well. Used 100 grains of Pyrodex RS with a 240 grain sabot conical bullet and 209 primer. Shot consistent group at 100 yards with plastic fiber-optic sights provided. Field stripping and cleaning is very simple and gun cleans easily with TC No. 13 Bore Cleaner. Accurate, reliable no misfires or delayed ignitions. In the event you keep the sights provided with this gun, use caution when seating bullet, I inadvertently misaligned the front sight but fixed it easily by loosening the set screw, realigning and tightening. The ramrod is plastic and I didn't use it during my shoot. Would probably work well with a cleaning jag between shots but, not to seat bullets. Great gun for price and very fun to shoot.

Product is Good for the price and very accurate but the cheap plastic sights were broke when I got mine because whoever packed it didn't put some kind of packing material between the Traditions box and the shipping box which caused the barrel to come through both boxes causing the front sight to break off. I plan on scoping it so not worth returning. I am using 250 grain lead cheapshot sabots with a 100 grain pyrodex charge and just sighting in looking down the barrel I am consistently hitting a 1 gallon milk jug at 50 yards. I am sure that with a decent scope it should be good for at least 100 yards or more. Also the Ramrod is cheap so order a better one.
