This new law allows hunters to use any rifle chambered in an Illinois legal caliber that has been manufactured or modified to be a single-shot rifle to be used for hunting deer.

As the Single Shot Sled works with all short-action Mossberg Patriot rifles it should be noted, that only the 350 Legend, 450 Bushmaster, and new 400 Legend Patriot Models that are allowed under current rules.
