The Super X Pump Universal Hunter is wrapped in the DNA woods camo patter from Mossy Oak. The rugged composite stock and forearm are designed to feel slim in the hands, with textured gripping surfaces to improve grip in wet, cold conditions. The inertia-assisted Speed Pump action utilizes a pair of rigid action bars and offers reliability and record-setting cycling speed. A redesigned trigger group now features a reversible “safety” button to accommodate left-handed shooters, and a ramped trigger guard for easier loading.

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.
