The Traditions ShedHorn is a sidelock percussion muzzleloader in .50 caliber with a 26-inch chromoly steel barrel cut with a 1:28 twist for saboted bullets and other modern projectiles. Ignition is by musket cap, and the Accelerator Breech Plug comes out for loading and cleaning. The metal wears a Premium Cerakote finish against weather and corrosion, the receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope, and Williams fiber optic sights come fitted. A double set trigger gives precise control of the release.

A sidelock shooter in Connecticut gets the same December 9 muzzleloader opener as everyone else, and at .50 caliber the ShedHorn clears the .45 minimum. Because state land is restricted to shotguns and muzzleloaders for deer, a rifle like this also opens public ground that a centerfire never can. The Cerakote finish is there for the weather, and the 1:28 twist lets a traditional-looking rifle shoot modern sabots.
