The Traditions Tracker 209 is a late-1990s Spanish-made, bolt-action inline muzzleloader built for modern 209 primer ignition. Its 22-inch blued barrel is paired with a lightweight black synthetic stock, giving hunters and muzzleloader enthusiasts a full-size rifle that handles saboted bullets and pellets with ease. Factory drilling and tapping let the owner add optics quickly, and the 1:28 twist delivers reliable stabilization for contemporary .50-caliber projectiles.

What’s Included
- Traditions Tracker 209 In-Line .50 caliber rifle
This Tracker 209 uses a tool-removable breech plug and 209 shotgun primers, giving shooters a fast, weather-resistant ignition system compared with traditional percussion caps.
The 22-inch blued steel barrel is optimized for saboted bullets and pelletized powder charges. A 1:28 twist rate balances bullet length and weight, helping maintain accuracy with common modern .50-caliber projectiles.
The black synthetic stock offers molded checkering for grip and a comb for comfortable scope alignment. A rubber butt-pad helps absorb recoil during range sessions.
The receiver is alloy to keep weight down, and it carries clear “MADE IN SPAIN” and Traditions Old Saybrook, CT markings, reflecting its manufacture by Ardesa for Traditions during the late 1990s.
Factory drilling and tapping on the barrel allow straightforward installation of scope bases, while the external safety features a red/green visual indicator when repaired to working order.
