Sling Question

[mattmann]

Hello!

What type of sling are you guys running on your rifles? Did an aoudad hunt and had to carry the rifle miles and miles and not looking to do that again. Here’s a picture of the bottom of my seven backcountry I would like to put a sling on. Any recommendations on the best way to mount one would be great also. Thanks in advance!

I'm using a couple of RifleCraft the last couple of years, but the intent behind them is for sling-supported shooting where useful, not packing comfort. For comfort, a thick neoprene one can be about as comfy as it gets.

Lately I'm rarely using a sling but bring a simple lightweight webbing sling (no padding) rolled up in the pack pocket just in case. When hiking many miles in I might strap the rifle to the pack. When actively hunting I set it in the Kifaru gun bearer and it is hand free. My budding is still using a sling and I see him constantly having to hold the sling so that is doesn't slide off his shoulder. He had trouble scrambling one hand holding sling while I was able to use both hands to help climb the steep stuff.

For a padded sling I'd go with my quake claw 2.0.
