Looking for a comfortable Rifle Sling!

[Unclemeat]

I was looking for some suggestions for a sling. I hike about a mile to my stand during deer season. I usually carry a backpack on my back then throw my rifle around my back on top of it. I am constantly holding the leather sling from digging into my neck. I was wondering if the neoprene slings are any good? Or maybe the Claw which appears to be rubber? The leather one I use is designed as a shoulder sling with the thumb loop, but it isn't long enough to go around my back. I figured someone here has the perfect sling and would love to share their info.

Thanks

Check out the Ultraflex sling. It's made out of a rubber material and won't fall off your shoulder. It's hands down the best sling I've ever used!

The neoprene slings from Butler Creek are the way to go. My father & I both switched from leather slings to Neoprene slings. You will be suprised how much better neoprene slings holdthe gun on your shoulder.

Thanks for the feedback. I knew there had to be a better way.

Oh sweet Jesus yes!

Those BC slings rock. All I use anymore. The stretch nicely and are about a 1/2" thick. Great stuff.

I agree the BC neoprene. I also have become fond of the safari sling for carrying/walking/calling use. Here is a link to the safari from cabelas website: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0005803220723a&type=product&cm Cat=search-perf&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&&QueryText=safari+sling&N =4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&N ty=1&Ntt=safari+sling&noImage=0&rid=01 80101070502&cmCat=perf&cm_ven=performics&a mp;cm_cat=yahoo_nonbrand&cm_pla=hunt_safari&am p;cm_ite=safari%20sling&OVMTC=standard&OVK EY=safari%20sling&OVRAW=safari%20sling&_re questid=31067

Both IMHO are better then a leather sling with the exception if you use the sling as a shooting aid.(which I don't)

Ditto on that.

I have 2 - very pricey - but l'll never buy another leather sling.

check vero vellini. i think thats spelled right. they are available at bass pro i know about $30 or so dollars i believe, great sling IMO. they are the neoprene type stuff, real wide at the shoulder.
