Rifle sling suggestion...

[DeepI In The Rut]

I need a new rifle sling (I've searched the forums on this topic without success). It will be used on my shoulder/hiking; not attached to a backpack. I have liked ones with some neoprene and rubber (or other material) for shoulder grip. Any suggestion on what you have found, that you like, would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The claw is a solid choice

Another vote for the claw. I like them.

Also, a bit of a different thing but I really like the old school GI cotton slings from cmp. They are cheap but very functional. Hit it with scotch guard or wax and get after it.

I have one called the ultimate gun sling that has some perks. Its all rubber and holds my guns well. Its also long and stretchy enough to basically carry your gun like a packpack if you want. I also like the claw.

I like either a cotton web USGI sling for swivels, or Vickers sling with QD cups. Can use a hasty sling technique with either type.

ultimate

The claw will suit you. I’ve got two. I also like the grip. Lay it on my backpack shoulder strap and it generally stays put.

I've got one of the Mystery Ranch hand's free rifle slings. Works great, clips in to whatever pack you use, I don't see it on their website anymore though.

I have an FhF that works similar to that mystery ranch rig. Its pretty sweet

Did anyone mention the claw yet?

I don’t really use slings anymore but I have one of those. I’ve used it the last 16(?) years now and it works well. I got it for packing my 13 lb coyote rifle and it does an excellent job.

Not sure if you use a backpack of some kind, but one of those hooks you attach to your pack strap to hold the sling on your shoulder hands free is a game changer. I can't remember the specific one I use but there's several available online.

I prefer the Safari Sling.

I like the Butler Creek Mountain sling. https://www.butlercreek.com/slings/...K-eFpGNKxNU0bpKvg40zjD3Lrh_dslzpuwPvGMWfeYHa3

FHF sling, love it

I have tried quite a few different slings and bearers over the decades made of various materials and always come back to my claws. They just work for my purposes.

I’m into leather, so I always use these slings:

Put a little coat of mink oil on it every so often and they hold up well.

For me, the sling is an essential stabilizer for an offhand shot (and also very handy for a fast seated unsupported shot).

like others have said the claw works well
