RE: just won a traditions in line
Congrats!!!! You are obviously on Santa's list!
One thing for sure about ML is that there is no one thing for every weapon or person.
Which is one of the things that I like most about this sport. There is a "tinker and tweak" factor.
Lot's of really helpfull info floating around in this form from cleaning, loads, powders, procedures, scopes, equipment and so on.
I'd also review the MFG manual tha comes with the weapon.
Also check out www.chuckhawks.com. Lots of great info there as well.
Best,

RE: just won a traditions in line
Curious, which Traditions Model? For winning one it really does not matter though.
I don't have a Traditions ML, but I've heard ok things about them.
Traditions is a low to mid range level importer from Spain along with CVA.
I'm somewhat interested in the new Traditions Pursuit Pro but the horrendous trigger pull on this model has me just that - only interested.

Likely the model you have won is the Tracker 209 .50 cal. Scoped Redi-Pak
Looks like a nifty complete package with everything you need except powder and primers to get started in ML!
A friend of mine bought this for his 13 year old son this Christmas. He will be using this next year for deer season as he will be 14 then.
From the Traditions Website:
"The Tracker 209 Scoped Redi-Pak is a superb value for anyone wanting to start muzzleloading. Supplied with a 209 shotgun primer ignition that gives you the hottest ignition possible in muzzleloading today! Everything is included except powder and caps.
The magnum receiver accepts up to 150 grains of Pyrodex Pellets or loose powder.
In-Line bolt with a quiet thumb safety
22" fast twist performance barrel
Removable breech plug system
Includes:
Mounted & Bore-sighted 4x32 scope
Lite Optic Adjustable sights that allow for optimal sighting in low light hunting conditions
The magnum receiver accepts up to a 150 grain magnum powder charge.
A rugged synthetic ramrod

Complete instructions and Lifetime warranty information"

Well dust off the 10MLII!!!
The 10MLII is among the top of the ML food chain in my view. Wish I had one. A friend of mine has one and I've shot it several times. Sweet weapon!

RE: just won a traditions in line
well i just picked it up and it is a ridge hunter. i am confused about the bolt what do you just pull it back and there will always be a gap on it till u pull the trigger. i am not sure gotta do a lil researchbut if anyone knows how this works let me know i think my savage is easier
