Sling Opinions

[CajunAR]

Guys,

I am currently looking for a decent sling that i can use in some of the precision rifle classes as well as something would would make humping my 15+ SASS around alittle easier(i also take it hunting with me). I've checked out the Biathlon sling (https://www.riflesonly.com/pro-shop/tactical-gear/regular-biathlon-sling-rbs.html)

and the Viking Tactics Backpack sling (http://www.vikingtactics.com/specialtyslings_backpack.html)

Do any of you have experience with either sling? I don't mind dropping the extra cash for the biathlon (or even a better one if recommended), but i want to make sure that i buy the best i can get for what i'm looking for.

Re: Sling Opinions

I have used my TIS Quick Cuff for precision rifle shooting and hunting, I love that sling.

+1 for the TIS. Well built and easy to adjust and use. Sling width doesn't create "hot spots" on your shoulder when carrying for longer periods.

Another vote for the TIS slip cuff with quick release.

Its width distributes the weight of the rifle well and as a shooting aid it is second to none. I have mine set so I can slide my arm through the entire sling as a hasty-sling and the front loop set for prone and sitting/kneeling. It is rock solid for taking a positional shot and a snap to get out of and reset. I have replaced all of my non-carbine rifle slings with these.

Re: Sling Opinions

Another vote for the TIS Slip Cuff Quick Release. I have several TIS slings all of which work very well but the Slip Cuff Quick Release combines the best features of each.

There are a lot of people here on the Hide that like one or the other. Soon there will be plenty of back and forth of TAB/TIS.

Here is a little infomercial I did on TIS slings.

The similarities of the names in the TIS can get confusing.

Quick Cuff
Slip Cuff
Slip Cuff Quick Release

Both the TAB and TIS slings are listed here:

Re: Sling Opinions

Just to throw another one into the mix, what do you guys think about the mountain shooter slings?

Re: Sling Opinions

Looks like another item I have to add to my Triad wishlist.

Re: Sling Opinions

At present my Mountain Stalker Sling is my favorite sling. They are versatile and flexible. This is where the comfort comes from. The fact that I can quickly and easily change how the weight is distributed allows for excellent comfort.
