I've never actually purchased a hunting rifle sling directly, they've come on used guns I've purchased.
This sling will be going on a Howa 1500 in 6.5Creedmoor.

Anyone have any experience with these?

I use Browning X-Cellerator slings on all of my rifles and shotguns. They're comfortable, offer one hand adjustment, rides on my shoulder like it should, and the easy adjustment makes it easy to use for shooting.

I won't hunt without one.


83% of all statistics are made up.

I got a neoprene sling. I didn't think it would hold up but it has. I like it cause there's a little give in it. Like your rifle has a shock absorber when it's over your shoulder.

I had the Quake Claw on my old Benelli. It was an good sling. I sold the gun and the sling is still in my closet. I did like the nylon swivels. Now I use the Viking Tactical sling. I like being able to carry my rifle across my chest. It's a better sling for walking in the woods in my opinion.

Safari Sling. Keeps my weapon in front of me at all times. I have 'em for every rifle or swap to them when I go to the woods.


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I bought a ML from Atoler a year or so ago and it came with a Claw sling. This was the first one I've owned, and it's now my favorite. I love that it doesn't slip at all. Anytime in the future that I've got to buy a sling it'll be a Claw.

That's pretty much the exact one I have on my 257. Don't get any of those fabric ones with the sticky material. They r junk.

I bought my first claw sling of anger, I was climbing down from a ladder stand after getting caught in the rain earlier my sling was wet and my gun spun around and smacked the crap out the ladder, put a good I'm scratch down the barrel. I went looking for a sling that wouldn't slide around and bought a claw now I have one on every rifle. It's comfortable and stays on my shoulder wet or dry,don't try and slide around or off my shoulder when I walk

Vero Vellini Air Cushion or Butler Creek Alaskan, both are neoprene, both are great, prefer the vero vellini by a small margin. Have a couple Claws also, their good but don't stretch like the neoprene's do.

Most all my rifles have "The Claw" on them. I like them because of the no slip and comfort of them

I've used the Claw but I like the Sloganoutdoors better. It holds better than the Claw. You could even split it and wear it like backpack straps when dragging a deer or doing anything where you absolutely don't want your rifle coming off.

As mentioned already combos of the butler creek neoprene and the claw.

My fav tho is a much older hand crafted leather one that belonged to my father with some 'deer artwork' on it that's on an old remmy 742 carbine. The leather is very supple and well-handled and has prob been carried for nearly 50yrs.

I have butler creek slings on everything and love them. 2 things mandatory on my rifles (besides a good scope and rings) is a butler creek sling and a cartridge holder on the buttstock. Just preference
