Need to add a sling, want it to be synthetic material impervious to wet weather. Want it to be used while sitting and have it support the rifle to keep it steady while I'm on the target. Black, brown or camo. Suggestions? U.S. Army 11F4P Vietnam 69-70 NRA Life Member | ||

check out the "claw". It is pretty good and around $20 iirc "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Claw slings are nice but I personally prefer the neoprene butler creek slings for wet weather. They are cheap and work really well with uncle mikes swivels. Never had an issue. If I was getting another claw, I’d get the slim version, also I used a sling called a kodiak which worked well too, maybe it was made by limbsaver but not sure. Anyways, basic butler creek neoprene slings get my vote. | |||

https://ultimategunsling.com I bought one of these this year. Not cheap and not traditional (sure doesn't feel or look like a leather sling) but it stays put. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

I like the Magpul RLS for carry and basic support. I’ve used and experimented with various types of support slings, including long ago when I was involved in smallbore shooting. The slings that cinch around the arm above the biceps are good for providing maximum support and even eliminating pulse movement, but they are slow to position and adjust. They are intended to be used from a stable position when firing long strings. Even the one with a quick detach arm cuff wasn’t as useful as I’d hoped. The RLS is obviously about as inexpensive as we could expect (other than adding sling swivels), and I find that the loop was easy to adjust and holds well when using the sling for tension on the rifle and support. ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans ….

both ultimate and magpul I had not considered. The ultimate looks interesting but the website is so bad you can't watch the video. To bad mr marketing is really lacking here. I like the magpul pricing. Worth a try maybe. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Not sure why a good old nylon sling wouldn't do what you are asking for. Shouldn't be much more than ten bucks just about anywhere. | |||

That requirement makes a simple carrying strap less desirable for the purpose. A single strap can be used as a “hasty sling,” but a hasty sling is less desirable for providing shooting position support than one that has a loop to put one’s arm though. The hasty sling is also less comfortable for long sessions and is more sensitive to changes in hand location, etc. A carrying strap that’s padded or wider at the front section can be more difficult to use as a hasty sling. ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans ….

The website was never cutting edge (IIRC when mine came there was a hand written note from the guy or his wife, so not a huge operation I guess), but I tried to go on it yesterday and it would barely load, so something is going on with their host. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||
