Hey team,
What slings are we all using? I have a few and find them all a pain in the arse. I often hunt the bush without it on but nice to throw on for the walk out etc.
Ones I have slip off the shoulder, one has a pissy little loop that cant even fit my pinky in, figured the loop could be handy to rest a hand or hook a thumb in when walking.
Don't know what I am missing to be fair, not much of a sling person. Also not interested in some heavy or tachticool version either.
Whats good?
neopreme all day long.... stays on shoulder,got a bit of give in it which helps if bangstick is heavy and they dont roll up and become narrow to dig into shoulder.
Not a sling guy either but when needed I have a Niggeloh which is the best I've used.
Same I was sceptical but the Niggeloh slings are so much better than any other neoprene sling I've tried. They stay put on your shoulder and seem to have just the right amount of give to make carrying a slinged rifle as comfortable as it can be.Quote:

I concur, Niggeloh is way ahead. Loop the forward end on the barrel not the stud ( throw stud away ). Niggeloh has a bit of stretch that absorbs shock so it wont bounce off your shoulder. I have four of them.
Sounds racist
Niggeloh are good. Butler creek are similar but half the price.
not a sling man but I do carry one for use on quads and horses - one sits in buffalo bag ready for use - I have two Uncle Mikes mountain slings - light around an inch wide - easily adjustable - tough and well made - totally recommend - but I understand they are not under that name anymore but still made by another companyQuote:

Anyone got a Niggeloh they want to part with?
+ 1 this has been my experience also with the neoprene sling.Quote:

Not Racist - pronounced Kneeg-Galah
+1 for Butler CreekQuote:

I invite dannyb to swing by and confirm the tally and to verify all are on the barrel with fore end stud thrown away.
Better to be wrong and have one more Niggeloh than you thought !
cant stand synthetic slings, I get the QD sling ends and take them to my leather maker (horse equipment guy)
I know one day it will decide to let go like every other 80 year old leather sling but for grip and feel (especially for standing shots) I can get a good wrap that grips and it helps a lot
I’ve got both a Niggeloh and a Butler creek and actually prefer the bc, I find the neoprene on the Niggeloh a bit too stretchy.
