YOUR MUZZLELOADING RIFLE
Congratulations on your purchase of the new Tr a d i t i o n s ™ E x p ress Double ™
M u z z l e l o a d e r.You have selected a muzzleloading fire a rm designed and
e n g i n e e red to give today’s shooters the highest perf o rmance and optimum
a c c u r a c y. When given the respect and care that any fire a rm demands, you can
expect many years of reliable service and enjoyable hunting from your new
Traditions muzzleloader.
The Tr a d i t i o n s ™ E x p ress Double ™ M u z z l e l o a d e r is based on a pre -
existing concept of the double rifle that uses two barrels with an over/under type
action. The E x p ress Double Muzzleloader is not made to shoot long
distances and is intended to shoot at a maximum of 100 yards. The
E Tr a d i t i o n s
™ E x p ress Double ™ Muzzleloader uses 24" fully rifled barre l s
with a 1 in 28" twist to provide you with a well balance and hard hitting
m u z z l e l o a d e r. This high grade, innovative muzzleloader provides you with that all
i m p o rtant second shot that can come in handy when hunting big game! The
Tr a d i t i o n s
™ E x p ress Double ™ M u z z l e l o a d e r p rovides you with a high
grade action with four locking lugs to support up to 150 grain powder charge in
both barrels. The 10.5 pound weight of the Tr a d i t i o n s
™ E x p ress Double ™
M u z z l e l o a d e r is considered to be a perfect weight ratio for a .50 caliber double
gun. It is not terribly heavy to carry yet it is heavy enough to provide you with
good recoil reduction and will allow you to set up for that important second shot.
Both barrels have a 209 primer breech plug system installed to provide you with a
s u re fire ignition of both barrels. We have drilled & tapped the barrel to utilize the
p rovided steel, We a v e r
® style 1-piece base to mount a scope or red dot sight. An
adjustable, fiber optic rear sight is used with a fixed front sight that is built into the
B a rrel Jack. (The Barrel Jack is fully explained later in this manual and is an
i m p o rtant feature / p a rt to the regulating of the top barre l . )
