Butler Creek has begun shipping the company's new Featherlight sling to retail partners, and has made it available for purchase on the company's website. Made from close-cell foam, and 45-percent lighter than any other sling made by the company, the Featherlight's foam construction helps reduce weight, enhances grip and adds to the sling's durability. Designed for use on any long gun, be it a conventional bolt action, a shotgun or a modern sporting rifle, the Featherlight sling utilizes either optional swivels, or a conventional strap mount.

Once in the field, the sling's breathable construction comes into play, with cut-out slots evenly spaced across the foam, leading to a reduction in trapped heat. For added security in rough terrain, the Featherlight boasts a large thumb loop attached to the bottom of the sling. Additional features include two built-in cartridge holders, giving shooters immediate access to extra ammo should the need arise. Adjustable from 22 to 36 inches, the Featherlight sling can be tailored to meet the required length of any user.

For more information on the Featherlight, available in either black or brown, please visit butlercreek.comMSRP: $24.95-$34.95

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.
