Chief Upland Customizable Front-Loading Hunting Vest
Chief Upland has introduced a hunting vest that is customizable to the individual hunter by offering an array of attachments (sold separately) that can be added or removed as the hunt requires. At 2.56 pounds, it is lightweight and, with its 29 to 50-inch adjustable waist, it will fit most hunters. The exterior, which is made with 1000 Denier Cordura, is durable, water and briar proof and includes Hypalon and leather accents, as well as a rip-stop lining. It’s also designed to eliminate neck, shoulder and back strain by carrying the weight comfortably on top of your hips. The innovative front-loading game bag continues along the hips so you don’t have to twist your arms to load a bird and the bag will stretch as you load birds but then contracts when empty. This design, with the use of an adjustable buckle on the front for customizing the tightness of the game bag, allows you to keep birds close to your body for better weight distribution.

Savage Renegauge Waterfowl Semi-Automatic Shotgun
The Renegauge is a conceptually new shotgun from Savage. There are six models, including the Waterfowl. Its patented D.R.I.V.

With its adjustable stock for length of pull, comb height and drop and cast, it will fit almost any shooter. It also features a rod buffer to reduce felt recoil, fluted 28-inch carbon steel barrel with a melonite finish, oversized controls, carbon steel ventilated rib with a red fiberoptic sight, competition-ready and easy-loading magazine port, three- inch chamber, chrome plated reciprocating components, one-piece chrome-plated action bar assembly, and the Waterfowl comes in Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades Camo.
