Traditions Performance Firearms is now shipping a striker-fired muzzleloading rifle called the Vortek StrikerFire LDR.  The gun allows the shooter to cock the striker by pushing in a button, and to de-cock it by pressing a recessed release button.

According to Traditions, the striker fire system is quiet, has a faster lock time and allows the owner to mount a scope lower on the gun.

The Vortek StrikerFire LDR has a 30″ barrel, two-stage competition-style trigger and a breech plug that allows a shooter to use both loose and pelletized powder.  MSRP is $693 and comes with a 3-9x 40 scope.
