An awesome Fire member sent me one of these, Vero Vellini Slings, and I love it. It's light weight, makes the rifle weight seem like it is not even there and doesn't slip off your shoulder, perfect when you need both hands while climbing.

Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years.
It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone.....

I hate stretchy slings, padded slings, and leather slings which slide on the shoulder.

The reason I like the Mountain Sling is it's simple, small (1.25"), light(3.5 oz), stiff, and has a grippy patch sewn on so it doesn't slide on the shoulder, but is still usable for a "tight sling" while shooting.

But everyone sees this subject differently... obviously.

Turner's Biothane shooting sling 'cause a sling should do more than just help you carry the rifle.

Sorry, but I wouldn't pay a nickel for anything marketed by "Allen". Some of the cheesiest Chi-com made junk ever.

May not be of interest to you but I have been using the Chinese made "tourbon" slings, they appear to be a knock-off of the Westerly Richards cotton canvas sling and are very comfortable to use. Two inch wide, light, easy to handle, and are terrific in the heat.

I have stopped using leather slings and have gone to these.

Also helps that they are cheap to purchase.

Ebay listing.

Of course if you would prefer to pay Westerly Richards then here is their version.

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
