A sling is the cheapest thing that makes a rifle easier to carry and steadier to shoot. Two jobs, and they pull in different directions: carrying weight off your hands over a long walk, and giving you a loop to brace against when you take the shot. A wide, padded sling carries best. A simple two-point with a quick adjuster braces best. Most hunters are better served by the second.
Fit matters more than material. Set the length with the rifle shouldered in the position you actually shoot from, not standing in the shop. Check your swivel studs before you buy — not every sling fits every mount, and a sling that detaches under load is worse than no sling at all.
Every firearm we sell needs a licence and a Permit to Acquire. Slings and accessories do not. Come and see us at Roseville Chase and we will fit one to your rifle at the counter.
Common questions
What is the best rifle sling for hunting?
A padded sling with a non-slip pad, such as the Butler Creek Easy Rider, Allen Hypa Lite or Outdoor Connection Raptor, carries a scoped rifle comfortably all day. If you also shoot off a sling, choose a two-point adjustable sling such as the Magpul MS3.
What sling fits a Tikka or Sako?
Most slings fit with standard 1-inch swivels on the rifle's studs. The Outdoor Connection Tikka/Sako sling and Sako TRG slings are made to match those rifles; QD slings need QD sockets or a Picatinny adaptor.
Do I need a licence to buy a sling?
No. Slings, swivels and sling mounts are not licensed items and ship Australia-wide.
