Thompson Center's ProHunter XT is a break-open inline muzzleloader in .50 caliber that fires off a 209 primer. The barrel is 28 inches, overall length is 44.5 inches, weight is 7.75 pounds, and the FlexTech synthetic stock is built to soak up recoil. Fiber optic sights come fitted and the receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope. The finish is black and there is a manual safety.

This is the kind of rifle New Jersey's deer rules allow: a single-shot muzzleloader of .44 caliber or larger is legal for deer where ordinary rifles are not, and the permit muzzleloader seasons run from late November into February in the High-set zones across most of the northwest. A break-open action makes loading and clearing simple on cold mornings, the FlexTech stock takes the edge off a full hunting charge, and the drilled-and-tapped receiver lets you scope it for longer shots across field edges.
