I'n in need of a new sling. Have only used leather ones. Not satisfied with them. What is your favorite/ or one that you could recommend?

I kind of the like " The Claw" ones. I think that's what they are called but not 100% positive that's the whole name. I really like them. I have 3 of them. 2 in black and one in camo. I like the camo but it was about $15 more than black. The local gun shop I deal with sells them at fairly good prices. Better than I found online or around the same minus shipping anyway. They have that tacky feeling so they stick to your shoulder and don't slide around. I don't find them to be too uncomfortable. I really like them although I haven't used a ton of others. These are the only ones I've owned and most of my buddies don't have them. I've only used one or two of their guns where they do.

I recently bought one for my grandson at Wal Mart. Don't know the brand, but it has the rubberized backing that won't slide off your shoulder with the bullet holder built in. I think it was about $17.

It is aRemington brand.

best slings I have ever purchased. Don't buy anything else anymore. It stretches and makes the gun feel half its weight.

Another vote for the Claw. You can get them at Cabelas for about $20. They try to rip you off a bit for some of the HD camo versions, but the regular camo one is still about $20.

Yup the local gun shop is $21.99 or 20.99 or something right around there for the black and the light colored one. I don't know what color to call that.

The HD camo one however was like $36.99 or something. I don't remember exactly but it was in the $30's. I got one as I really liked it but my other two are black.

Thanks for the replies. I'll have to see what's available locally. I'd like to handle it before ordering one online sight unseen.

X2, I have 2 of these and love them. They don't absorb moisture and don't slip on your shoulder. You'll love them over the traditional leather strap!!

I use a Red Head padded sling from Bass Pro Shops and I love it.
