Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Favorite rifle sling?

Need a few again. I don’t want leather.
Got a bunch of BC comfort stretch but want something thinner and “grippy” for some light rifles.

Jack,

You try a paracord sling ?

IIRC, someone in our classifieds makes them.

Mountain Slings by Blackhawk/Butler Creek. If you can find the 1" wide ones they are the best but the 1 1/4" is all I have been able to find in the last several years. They are lightweight nylon with a strip of slip resistant material where the shoulder contacts. Comes with swivels for less than $20.00, well may be more these days, and are very lightweight and do not rot or mildew. I purchase them 4 to 6 at a time and just have them around when needed.

^^^^ This.

I have a couple nylon slings. Rocky Mountain I think? Simple and light. Pretty sure Butler Creek makes similar ones.

I do like my leather Montana slings better though.

If have some of the Butler Creek slings and they work fine. I also use Trader Keith Safari Straps.

I have some mountain slings but usually make my own out of 1" nylon straps. I put shoe goo on them to make them grippy. They work quite well.

Yep and I have owned one for 27 years that gets moved where I need it.

I like the claw sling by quake.

I like a simple nylon strap. Cut to size for me.

butler creek sling. 1inch nylon with about 2.5 inch neoprene padding. very comfortable and stretchy. would buy another.

For hunting, I love the Outdoor Connection Super Sling 2. It's ~$20 and is very versatile......

Also a "Claw" fan..

This is what I was looking for but couldn’t remember what they were called, thanks!

I have many different slings I have bought over the years ,leather and otherwise. I like the claw the best for my use.

If I HAVE to use a sling, the Claw gets my vote.

Kifaru gun-bearer is simply a better way to roll if you’re wearing any kind of pack at all while hunting though.

A few years ago, I looked at a Boony Packer Safari sling. I made a quicky homemade version just to try out the concept and I liked it. So, I bought the real one. I much prefer it over a regular sling. The only issue is that when you're with other people, you need to be constantly aware of where the muzzle is pointing. I use a single trekking pole when hunting and don't have any problems with it. Using 2 poles might get cumbersome.

Butler Creek Comfort Stretch Alaskan Magnum Sling with Sewn-in Swivels, Black


It is stretchy, wide, and non slip.

Not sure if they’re my favorite, but have been using Uncle Mike’s/Butler Creek ‘Mountain Slings’ for the last 15 years.
