Leather M1907-style, 1 1/4" or 1". Mainly because all of my rifles were born before WWII and, to my sense of aesthetics, they just look right with that style of sling. Besides, they work.

Usually though, the slings ride in my daypack or game pocket.

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.

I bought a couple of the Specialty Outdoor Products slings a couple of years ago when he had a booth at the Sacramento Sportsmans show. One went on my varmint rifle which weighs about 9 1/2 lbs that I carry everyday on my hikes and the other went on a lighter hunting rifle. They don't EVER slip and have just enough give to be comfortable while not being bouncy. Also putting it over both shoulders allows both hands to be used if you need to climb or when riding the ATV. Plus they are wide enough to be comfortable without being bulky.
I've tried a lot of others and still own them but like these best.


I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

All my serious hunting rifles have Safari Slings. Much quicker to employ, easier to carry the rifle, and I can always see the muzzle.

Everybody looks askance at my setup when they first see it, but after following me for a day or two a lot of them order a Safari Sling.

Mostly Montana slings, I also have a couple 1907 slings from Bandera USA that I really like. VERY nice slings for a good price and USA made.

Butler Creek Alaskan Magnums. The neoprene and the non slip make them easy on the shoulder. The shell holder is handy also.

For my wood stocked rifles, they usually wear a leather sling of some sort like the Montana Sling for a vintage look. My wet weather synthetic and stainless rifles wear nylon slings for durability in adverse weather. Heavy barreled get a padded nylon sling for durability and to distribute/support the weight of rifle while slung on shoulder.

SD, what chambering is the CZ?

I use an old Gander Mountain with great grippy stuff on the back side. I just picked up a new Butler Creek plain black stretch sling. The stretch slings are great for humping a rifle around these mountains. Also good when dragging a deer out. Nothing more frustrating than a sling too short to go across your chest and too slippery to stay on your shoulder.

Vero Vellini is excellent.

Slogan Outdoors for me as well. They are light weight, stay on your shoulder and the rubber remains very flexible even when extremely cold.

We have a winner!

I like Whelen-types as well, but don't see them much any more.

On my 264 is an old Boyt Harness Leather 2" sling. My 6.5x55 has the Boyt Harness 1" sling. The rest are either Outdoor Connection 1" nylon slings or a Butler Creek non-slip 2" sling.

I use a mountain sling, or a homemade nylon sling similar to the Pronghorn sling, but much lighter.

On the odd occasion I carry a rifle with a sling, I use an old m1 carbine sling.

My lever rifles all go slingless.
