Traditions Vortek = Genesis & Triumph had a baby

[SWThomas]

Anyone seen the new Traditions Vortek yet? I'm looking at pictures of it in the most recent Petersons Hunting Magazine. It looks as though it has the stock, hammer, and trigger of a Remington Genesis with a jazzed up trigger guard that has a lever in the front to open the action. Once the action is tipped open, there's a breech plug that bears a striking resemblance to the Speed Breech of the TC Triumph. It says it can be removed without any additional tools but it doesn't say whether or not it's a 90 degree and out design like the Speed Breech. The base model is suppose to be $400.

They also cover the new CVA Apex, the Knight Extreme Ultimate Slam, and the TC Triumph Bone Collector.

What did they have to say about the Apex?

I posted this about the Vortek back in January, and that it looks like a clone of the Genesis/Triumph.

Click on the magnifying glass, then look at the breech or lack thereof, no excellerator breech plug, and look at the scope mount holes. I think that one was pieced together in Photoshop.

i have a pursuist lt. and will put it up against any tc at the range any day. i like tc's also but i'm not payin the prices they want when my gun shoots just as great as they do. the only thing i dislike about mine is the fact that the rod is longer than the barrel so it has to be taken apart to be put under the gun (just flip the jag around) other than that its super easy to clean and shoots great.
