Whose hunting with lead slings?

Go for the neoprene cush. Wide leather ones rub on my neck. And I like the little stretch from it for when I sling accross my back so I can crank it tight and it sucks into my back so it's still comfy but no slop.


You could always put the rifle in your pack. Dozen ways to holster it these days.

"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

I received the Safari sling in the mail yesterday. I put it on a rifle and played around with it a bit. All I can say is wow, I wish I would have found this years ago. Hands down the most comfortable sling I have ever tried, and the gun is right there ready to use. I seriously doubt I will ever have a traditional sling on a gun ever again.

They are cool. I bought one as soon as I saw it at a sports show 20+ years ago. Love it. I did have an issue with the swivels. I was riding a bike and had the rifle on my back and the strap across shoulder and front of torso like a regular sling. At some point the sling twisted and torqued the swivel enough to open it and my rifle crashed to the ground. Hasn't happened since, but I think about it and keep an eye on it when wearing in that position.
Charlie Kirk didn't speak hate, they hated what he said. Don't get it twisted.

I use the Viking Tactics hunting sling, uber adjustable, comfortable and can be tightened quickly if you need to shoot off-hand.

 :yeah:
I have those on half of my rifles and muzzleloaders.
I don't like neoprene because due to the stretch and bounce I wind up with fatigue in my neck and shoulder.  I can hike all day long with the Quake and not have a problem.

I bought a Claw sling but the barrel on my bighorn is to long for a regular shoulder sling and feels really awkward when carrying in the standard fashion and honestly the claw is not a very comfortable sling to begin with IMHO. :twocents:
