Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Rifle Slings whats on your Rifle

I've got one like you describe. It's by Uncle Mike's. I use it on my heavy 9.3 Mauser. Works GOOD to distribute the weight.

Butler Creek has them now:

Uncle Mike's

I only use Browning X-Cellerator slings on all my rifles and shotguns. I use them because they're functional and very easily adjustable. They just work.

Why? Functional and no drama.

Butler Creek mountain slings. They're easy to fold up and put in a pocket. I usually don't have a sling on my rifles when hunting.

I have several different ones, but my elk rifle is wearing one that I bought from Hillhamhawk on here. Nice sling.

Arthritis and bersitus - a nice soft sling, wide and with cushion - make the rifle light too. (Unless really big game is in the menu)

I used to use my sling for an aid in aiming. Arthritis and bersitus over rules the need for the sling to be a sighting aid.

I read a magazine article that says if you don't use your sling for a sighting aid you're a ...., I guess I don't recall exact wording, but it wasn't complimentary. I wonder what that author will think when he is old and takes aspirin, bufferin, & arthritis medicine on a daily basis.

Bugger,
Do your body a favor and try one of these:

My deer rifle wears an old Bucheimer.

Still have my Bianchi double suede Cobra ('76).
Looked great on my #1B........and varminting, wide sling is nice for the lug back to the truck.

Get another B with killer wood eventually........sling is waiting. Looks very good for its age.

Think $25 back when new.

These will keep a rifle on my shoulder better than anything I have ever used before including slings with rubber and neoprene pads.

This company told me that they started making this sling because they had CS problems from this company.

I'll be using a Butler Creek mountain sling simply to save a little weight. I don't climb mountains on extended backpacking hunting trips but I see no reason to use a heavier sling.

Most times my rifle is in my hand (bad neck).

If carried over the shoulder, those Butler Creek "Safari" jobs do add comfort. A little "give" is pretty sweet.

I use the pre-Latigo and Latigo.

Pre-Latigo was called Latigo/Conway and it is on my Ruger 77 7x57 every season. Every once in awhile I freshen it up with Picards boot oil.

Nice tanger round oak. Sorry, sounds like something a 270 shooter would say..

I use a 2 point VTAC sling, same as on my M4s. It allows me to be hands free when hiking.

It also allows me to have the rifle rest comfortable in front of me, with a heavy pack on and use my hands to use walking sticks, or pull myself up a hill using vegetation, or kneel without worrying about banging the rifle on something.

+10!! Simple - perfect!!

That's the one I use and have for decades. I have removed the "buckles" at the swivels just sewing them permanently in place. This one sling gets moved to whatever rifle I happen to be using.

I use Super Slings as well, both the 1" (light rifles) and 1.25" (standard sporters) versions. Easy to adjust, works great for carrying and for shooting, and lightweight.

Quake Claw's right now but only kind of happy with them. Nice non slip pad and easy adjustment, but they kind of cut into my ribs.

Considering a VTAC "Hunter" model.
