Thread: What Sling?

Howdy folks, I've done many many miles using slings - here's my 5 cents. (I'm not endorsing any of these retailers - just trying to help folks to see them quickly via hyperlinks - shop around for the best prices).

Don't buy a Niggeloh (if you're using it alot). "Achilles heel" is the hard fabric webbing stitched on to the neoprene - dunno what rocket scientist thought that'd be a good idea the hard flex point onto soft neoprene soon wears it through - not ideal for an item costing the thick end of a hundred notes!!! Some folks may want to spend the coin and for small excursions they're fine - otherwise they'll let you down eventually unless of course they have fixed this design fault?



Spika - better than Niggeloh and almost half the price without the crazy design fault. https://www.guncity.com/the-outdoor-...e-sling-369155


Outdoor connection Razor sling - bullet proof super comfy sling that after years of use is still the same as when I bought it. NZ Asia brings them in and distributes in NZ. https://www.guncity.com/the-outdoor-...e-sling-369155


If you must have neoprene for comfort and want the cheapest - good ol' Ali Express has a Niggeloh knock off (once again - without the same design fault - webbing still stitched at the same spot but not as hard) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005...5a8d1802Pb69We

Hope this is of some help to folks out there - as mentioned - just my five cents.
And hey - don't make a habit of using it too much - if rifle is on shoulder you may miss a chance. I carried string in pouch for years to attach and use while climbing or other times when I needed to be hands free and that was also fine - horses for courses eh!
