Default New 2009 Traditions ML

Got this from guns and ammo:

Traditions
Traditions Performance Firearms adds the new Vortek to their line of break open muzzleloaders. The Vortek is a newly designed break open action, alloy frame with a "drop-out" trigger assembly designed for easy cleaning. The ergonomics of the over-molded buttstock and forearm provide extra grip and greater balance. With safety in mind, Traditions has skeletonized the action release, allowing the use of standard trigger locks for storage or travel. The Accelerator breech plug has found its way into the long list of features that accompany one of the most innovative muzzleloaders ever engineered by Traditions. The Accelerator Breech Plug releases with three quick revolutions using no tools. Simply twist the Accelerator Breech Plug and loosen until it is removed from the barrel for easy cleaning. The Vortek is a high performance muzzleloader that comes with a 28", 1:28 twist barrel and Williams metal sights. The weather-resistant finish on the frame and barrel help increase the durability and protect the finish during those extreme days in the field. The 209 ignition and 150 grain magnum loads proves reliable and consistent groups out to 200 yards. The PAS (Projectile Alignment System) guarantees reliable bullet seating for increased accuracy and no bullet starter is needed. The Vortek is available in a standard or ambidextrous thumbhole stock in an overmolded black or Mossy Oak Treestand soft stock finish for a better grip in inclement weather.

Another new muzzleloader from Traditions is the Buck Stalker, a lightweight rifle designed for fast handling while still hunting. The Buck Stalker is a high performance break action muzzleloader which includes a standard lightweight, rust resistant LT-1 alloy frame. A shortened 1:28 twist, 24" barrel allows for quick handling once the hunter spots his trophy buck. The 209 ignition and 150 grain magnum loads proves reliable and consistent. Hunters will also appreciate the features of a TRUGLO fiber optic sight. The PAS (Projectile Alignment System) guarantees reliable bullet seating for increased accuracy and no bullet starter is needed. Traditions Firearms makes getting ready for your hunt easy with scoped combos and Redi-Paks which include: loading, shooting & cleaning accessories. 150 grain magnum loads proves reliable and consistent groups out to 200 yards. The PAS (Projectile Alignment System) guarantees reliable bullet seating for increased accuracy and no bullet starter is needed. The Vortek is available in a standard or ambidextrous thumbhole stock in an overmolded black or Mossy Oak Treestand soft stock finish for a better grip in inclement weather.

Revpilot has it right, Has a real Genesis look to it. Not a bad looking rifle at all. Should be fairly affordable.

The Genesis is an awesome rifle and Traditions manufactured it for Remington so I don't see why they wouldn't want to bite that design a little. Hell, I would if I was them. That looks like a very nice rifle though...

If they copied TC stuff any closer they would get nailed for Patton infringement. The drop out trigger sounds good but if you eliminate blow back with a good breach plug design why would you need to drop out the trigger group.
They make much better rifles than they used to but it would be nice to see some real innovation instead of redesigning somebody else's stuff. Lee
