That's the same steel that centerfire rifles are made from.
It comes with or without a scope package:--->>>

The product page says that even the scope is covered by the Traditions lifetime warranty.
You realize its not actually the same steel or at least not the same level of testing/proofing. Green Mountain uses 4140 chrome moly and 416 to make Knight barrels also. Pretty much everyone uses good steel now days. The days of using cheap extruded blanks are pretty much long gone. Only a handful of customs and aftermarket vendors use anything better. Traditions have long been about at the bottom of the mass produced muzzle loaders. Why get nitride 4140 when you can have nitride over 416SS?
Its highly unlikely they are using the same Lothar Walther premium barrel blanks they use on their centerfires.
