Sling Info

[andy57]

I am looking for recommendations for a rifle sling that works. Mainly for carry, I look at ones in stores and I really do not like all the cheap looking ones with a wide pad. Thought?

For what gun? For what carry method? Do you have good sling loops for it? What size are they?

A sling, or a carry strap?

FWIW, aside from the proper period correct ones on a few guns, I only have two: the Ching Sling (leather, probably old school now) and some first gen VCASs I customized. These days, if you like nylon and plastic, their sling customizer is awesome: https://www.blueforcegear.com/custom-sling-builder

If an ar style platform you can not go wrong with blue force gear as recommended above.

If you want more of a minimalist style look at the Proctor Sling. Affordable and attaches to most anything out of the box

I have had blue force gear and its great,This is for a Win model 70 Extreme weather shoulder carry.

I prefer a Turner style for most of my hunting rifles and VTAC for ARs. Viking also makes a hunting style sling but I have not seen one in the flesh.

Not cheap, but the best hunting sling I've found. I have the 1 1/4" and 1" versions. I like the 1" version better.

I've fabricated my own heavy duty slings from old luggage straps. Store slings are cheap, and cut into your shoulder, after about half an hour of carry.

The allen/Winchester/generic padded adjustable slings are a better sling than the Claw slings. Hate, with every fiber of my being, the Claw. For more expensive tactical style slings, vtac, blue force, and Short Action Precision are what gets my money.

armageddongear has a great sling i'd recommend for a rifle. many of the above, while great slings, are intended for carbine/AR15

I use these exclusively on all my rifles. Compact and comfortable...

The Butler Creek slings are good and, being nylon, should work well with the OP's All Weather Winchester.

I do like those leather slings at the Montana site tho...

Another vote for Montana Slings.........Beautiful work. I had a guy make one for me, a braided leather, that is one of the most functional slings I own. I have been looking at some really nice braided leather belts that I would like to have a leather guy fashion a sling out of. I really like tinkering with ideas like that, but I'm a horrible craftsman so have to find people to do the work for me and it can get expensive.

I've been partial to the M1907 for a while, but that is because it is a sling, not a carrying strap.

For a basic carry strap for a hunting rifle, I just get a camo one from wal mart. And to be honest, I used the same one for my M24 SWS in the mountains in afg.

Brownell’s latigo sling is a nice unit. Makes a comfy carry sling as well as shooting sling.
