Rifle Sling Slipping
FrothyLlama:
Hey guys,
I run a Remington 700 with a generic sling I got at Bass Pro. I always feel like my rifle is going to slide off my shoulder unless I hold onto the sling. Normally this is no big deal but I'd really like to try using trekking poles this season and this would require me to keep both hands on the poles.
Im trying to see if any of y'all have some recommendations on how to prevent my rifle from sliding down off my shoulder as it's always bouncing up against my backpack. Is it the sling? Is it just something I have to deal with?
Thanks!
NRA4LIFE:
Sew a big heavy duty button onto the very top of your shoulder straps so it is on top of your shoulder so the sling has it to catch on.

Kifaru Gun Bearer or put a clip on your shoulder strap. I've tried both and definitely prefer the gun bearer.
MountainWalk:
I use a kifaru gun bearer. Once you try it, you’ll be hard pressed to go back to a conventional sling.
A big plus is, when you start crawling around the thick alders helping your friend looking for that bear, you won’t have a sling getting hung up or having to remove your sling. It’s the bee’s knee’s.

I use the kifaru gun bearer & won’t ever back to a sling for a rifle hike hiking.
