Traditions Vortek

[Lonetour]

I'm close to purchasing a Traditions Vortech but I'ld really like to hear from someone that hunts with one.
I've been going back and forth in my decision to buy it, or the very popular T/C Triumph.

To me it would be simple. T C Triumph hands down. Vortech is to new to have any reviews about.

I'm sure you've read my preference for TC products as thats the brand I am most familiar with. Last fall I purchased a TC Triumph as my new Ohio gun season rifle. My son now has my TC FireHawk. I can tell you the Triumph is the most comfortable rifle out of the box I have ever purchased. It shoots really well and the recoil is hardly noticeable. I like the finger removable breach plug system. I have owned TC products since the late 70's and still believe they are the best. Good luck on your purchase whatever brand you choose.

The Traditions is #1 in my book so I'd go for the Vortek hands down...

Dual Safety System
Traditions™ Dual Safety System incorporates 2 safeties, making equipped guns some of the safest available muzzleloaders. A cross block trigger safety is built into the trigger guard, just like a standard rifle or shotgun safety. The second safety is built into the hammer and blocks the firing pin from igniting the primer if the trigger has not been pulled.


Clearly the Traditions Vortek matches all the Thompson center features and add's a few to boot.

Good Luck with which ever one you choose!

TC TC TC TC Everyone is trying to compare to TC that should tell you something!

[BruceBruce1959]

Traditions Performance Firearms, known for their extremely accurate and dependable muzzleloaders.
For the past 20+ years, Traditions Performance Firearms has been a dominating force in the muzzleloading industry so I believe it's the other way around, I believe TC is trying to build rifles like Traditons Performance Firearms. So far TC's made a LOT of money marketing their product as far as building muzzleloaders as good as Traditions, well that's a whole nother story...

[BruceBruce1959]

I crack myself up.. hm, you are a ton of fun!

Both are good guns and you can't really go wrong with either. Some other things to think about.........The TC's are usually higher cost but they are made in the US whereas the Traditions are not.

if your going to spend your hard earned money on a muzzleblaster go ahead and buy the best the first time around and get a knight long range hunter or a disc extreme,you will have a tackdriver that will last you a lifetime just my 2 pennies

if you are interested in a traditions, be sure you check the trigger pull on it first. Traditions isnt know for quality triggers, normally they are heavy and gritty so just make sure you check it out.
