Favorite Rifle Sling

[treillw]

Not a topic that I have seen too much discussion on, but what is your favorite rifle sling?

I have been using a vero vellini for 18 years and the spongy material is finally starting to tear through.

My fighting rifles all have BFG padded and regular slings, even my tikka compact at the moment . I like the slider feature that allows you to sling it around your body and secure it for negotiating terrain etc.
I was looking at picking up one of the rubber type like the "claw" I believe but I'll also likely be running a gun bearer on my pack so may not need a sling a ton but I believe all long arms should be equipped regardless.

I like the claw. It is less likely to slip off your shoulder.

I'll second "the claw." It stays over the shoulder better than any other sling I've used.

Another vote for the claw. I got tired of my shotgun slipping off my shoulder this spring chasing turkey and went and got one. Problem solved.

Either the slim version of the Claw or a simple 1" webbing strap with silicone sealer smeared on for traction. The webbing is super light & I can make one up for around $2

Browning X-Cellerator slings. I use them on all of my rifles and shotguns.

Claw for me. Only sling i found not to slip and slide off my shoulder when wearing a pack.

Slim claw.

The claw, both thick and thin.

As far as I am concerned, you have been on the right track for 18 years. Great sling for my uses.

I like that idea! I'm going to make one.

I use two, the claw for lighter rifles and for my heavier rifles, I like the Specialty Outdoor Products sling, it sticks well and has some stretch to take the edge off when carrying my rifle for long distances.

Tab gear prs. It's not light but I take functional over weight. Maybe if I win the lottery and go sheep hunting I will change my tune.

It's a thermoplastic, stretchy so it works as both a shooting aid and a carrying strap. I have one on every big game rifle.

Been happy with The Claw.

RifleCraft RS-2 is my hands down favorite sling. I'm a big fan of shooting slings and this is one of if not the best, I like it even better than the old military issue leather. Once I got my first one I had to get several others for my favorite rifles.
