The .400 Legend rifle is chambered in .400 Legend, a straight-wall cartridge designed for hunters in states that restrict deer hunting to straight-wall calibers. It delivers higher velocity and greater penetration than many competing straight-wall options such as the .450 Bushmaster, while producing less recoil. The flat trajectory of the .400 Legend makes shots beyond 200 yards viable. The cartridge is chambered in both bolt-action and AR-style rifles, giving hunters flexibility in platform choice. .400 Legend rifles accept a range of optics and are built for field use in varying conditions.
