Rifle Sling Recommendation

[Cucuy]

Boonie Packer safari sling. I like having the rifle in front and ready to go. It balances out my pack and makes it easier to get through the brush. Gotta watch the muzzle though. I mostly hunt by myself so it’s usually not a concern.

I like to carry my rifle up front so it's accessible. I use either an Edgar Sherman, Blue Force Gear Vicker's, or Ferro Concepts sling. Lightweight, simple slings are my favorite. I use QD sling swivels on the sides of the rifle. If I'm not carrying it that way I'll just attach the rifle to my pack.

I also recommend the Rhodesian sling to anyone who asks.

As do I. Andy is a good friend and the master of wry humor.

He also makes good belts which I wear daily.

I have used several slings and finally landed on the montana rifle sling

Anyone have any experience with the Ultimate Rifle Sling?

My first choice for a hunting sling is the Dick Murray A-1. The genius of it lies in it's simplicity. Leather looks the part for a hunting rifle and it keeps on my shoulder nicely. A quick wrap around my forearm gives added support for shooting offhand.

I have not used a Trader Keith sling, but I understand they are quite good and really look the part for a traditional African Safari. If you are looking for a more modern tactical sling that's made specifically for real world (and yes tactical) shooting, the Vickers Sling from Blue Force Gear is top notch. It may not look the part, but it works very well.

Murray Custom Leather is nearly always the answer if they make the product you have in mind. All of Dick's stuff is top notch, and he is also a tremendously nice guy.

Anyone have any experience with the Ultimate Rifle Sling?

I have it.
Love it for normal hunts involving a lot of walking or climbing. I prefer it to leather and I like using it backpack style.

However, it sucks in thorns. The rubber is just soft enough to get punctured and caught up on them. After the first day in S Africa, I took it off.

I want to start practising off-hand shooting (375HH). no sticks or supports. I know some slings are geared more for carry than shooting and am looking for a sling that is designed primarily for shooting. Anyone have any recommendations. Thanks

I have a Trader Keith canvas sling on my .458 and like it, but I have been told that if a shooting sling is your primary concern, the Ching Sling is the best. You might want to look into that one.

I’m a fan of the Galco Ching Sling.

I’m a fan of the Galco Ching Sling.

I have one on my Ruger American 30-06. It helps immensely if you don’t have a rest of any sort. It is stiff when new and requires quite a bit of time to break in.
