The 4-Play turkey call, from Cutting Edge Game Calls, is a box call innovative enough to garner its own Utility Patent from the US Patent Office. Spotted at this year's Great American Outdoor show by American Hunter Editor Connor McKibben, the 4-Play features a forward mounted wheel which allows the lid to be positioned on either side of the box, to take full advantage of the box's four sound rails—each made from a different species of wood for a different tone. The aforementioned wheel also allows the lid to be moved forward and back, enabling it to hit each sound rail in multiple locations. 4-Play turkey calls are available with Cherry, Walnut or mahogany bodies, and all have sounds rails made of walnut, eastern red cedar, sassafras and poplar. For more information on these calls, which retail for $125, please visit 4playturkeycall.com.

Review: Winchester 400 Legend

Winchester’s new 400 Legend is a streamlined, mid-sized straight-wall cartridge intended to fill the gap between its wildly popular 350 Legend and the notorious 450 Bushmaster. It is—in our opinion—a masterstroke of genius.
