I was looking for an easy to use sling that would slip over the barrel and pistol grip of a shotgun. This sling fit the bill and made carrying the gun, when walking in and out of the woods, a much easier task. The sling is well padded, easily adjusted and compact enough that it doesn't snag brush and branches. I would like to see the pistol grip portion of the sling made of a softer material.

I purchased this sling in order to put it on the brand new Cooper rifle that I had special ordered. The first time that I used the sling the stitching came undone. My new Cooper rifle fell to the ground. The stock on the rifle was scratched. Not impressed at all!!

These are the best value in slings available, unless you're into the leather stuff. The cushioned stretch and flex makes any rifle ride smoothly and doesn't move around on your shoulder very much.

The sling is usable but not what I was expecting. The nylon webbing is of lower quality and looser weave than most other slings at the same price. The neoprene pad is comfortable but the edges are not finished or sealed in any way which will cause the fabric on the neoprene pad to peel back and the foam to start falling apart. Mine is only a month old and hasn't seen any use and this is already starting to happen. The rubber dots on the underside of the sling that were placed there for added grip, actually make the sling more slick and it slides off your shoulder more. The only thing i like about this sling is that the elastic used in the cartridge loops is of very high quality. The loops also hold your ammo very securely, so securely that a round dump or fast reload is near impossible, but hunters should have no need for such a reload.

I was looking at purchased a $65 sling then thought to myself what a waste that much for a sling. I purchased this sling and it was great. Very comfortable and easy to install. I like the fact that it can also hold 4 rounds
