Best rifle slings?
« on: December 17, 2013, 08:27:47 PM »
I'm in need of a rifle along to mount on a custom 7mm Mag... Am interested in the limbsaver Kodiak Sling (has handle and supposedly does not slip). Any advice here? Would like a lighter weight sling of course but durable is also a big plus. Thanks in advance.

I have had one of theses for years on my .300winmag, very comfortable neoprene stretchy.

Check out Montana slings.  It's by far my favorite rifle sling.

I quit using a sling about 10 years ago.  Nothing worse then having a elk pop up in front of you and your trying to get your gun off your shoulder before it runs.  I do carry a sling in my pack made out of 550 cord, for after I harvest an animal.  Doubles as 40ft of rope.

I quit using one as well.  It squeaks and I found a system to put on my pack once I have an animal down.

I have a friend that uses that setup, he likes it but it doesn't really fit into my hunting style.

Though marketed as a "tactical" sling, I have been using VTAC slings on hunting rigs and like them a lot.  You can cinch the rifle tight against your back leaving both hands free and the little "ripcord" is easily accessible at chest level. Give it a tug while pushing on the rifle and you immediately have enough slack to shoulder it.  Light weight too.
