My 50 yr quest for the ultimate sling is over

[bwhana]

I think I've finally found what I've been looking for all these years. I carried my Midland while running traps and deer scouting today for several hours and I was able to go completely hands free and it was very comfortable. Weighs 3 oz and is well vented so it will be great on warm spring hunts. I confess that I am a weight weenie and the only other slings that came close to this were too heavy for my taste.

I've seen that one and considered it.  It's very thin and I wondered about durability but at the price point, it's worth a try.

The thin part actually feels more durable than many of the slings I've tried. I expect the stitching attaching it to the webbing will be the failure point, but that is true of most slings.

I bought one a few months ago and have been using it on my deer rifle ... A fine light weight sling ...

I like that!

Not to derail this thread, but where might I be able to buy the tape or wrap that you have on this gun?  I don't need Kryptic camo, just plain woodland or Mossy Oak would do.

Thanks!

No worries!  I got it at Academy and has been on the gin for two seasons now.  https://www.academy.com/p/mcnett-camo-form%C2%AE-reusable-heavy-duty-fabric-wrap-102305403

That's an awesome rig John. Looks great and lighter is always better.

The one that I use is actually called "The Ultimate Gun Sling!!! I made an order a couple years ago and I messed up the order. The actual owner called me to double check the order. They cling to your shoulder with plenty of shock absorbing .

Any shock absorbing in it, stretch?

[bwhana]

No stretch in this one. It is so thin that it would likely compromise the strength. That is one trade-off I'm ok with if it lasts.

Looking at the durability tests I don't think it will be an issue!

I may try one but need to weigh my current sling.

Got the ultimate sling from Glenda Green at Unicoi. Rifle or shotgun, can't get any lighter or more durable.
