Savage Arms is one of the first riflemakers to partner with Winchester Ammunition to bring deer hunters several rifles chambered in 400 Legend.
The new hard-hitting yet mildly recoiling chambering means new opportunities for big game hunters across the country. Savage is launching the 400 Legend in the 110 Apex Hunter XP, 110 Hog Hunter and Axis II XP — but will also chamber it in another 11 models in 2023.
Modern straight-walled cartridges were born for states such as Ohio and Michigan where hunters are limited to shotgun slugs or historically limited rifle caliber options. Due to the popularity of the Legend cartridges that has been driven by performance—straight-wall options have gained traction outside of traditional shotgun slug areas as well.
“Savage is dedicated to chambering the best calibers for hunters and shooters,” said Beth Shimanski, director of marketing at Savage Arms. “The 400 Legend brings ballistic advances and advantages…. Deer hunters are in for a treat this fall….”
