Description
Anyone who has packed a rifle up a mountain knows the shoulder ache that sets in after a few miles. The Butler Creek Comfort Stretch Alaskan Magnum sling was built to fight exactly that. Its stretchable construction and soft neoprene padding soak up the bounce a standard nylon or leather strap passes straight into your shoulder, and Butler Creek rates it to reduce felt weight by up to 50 percent. On rough terrain, that difference adds up fast.
What Makes the Alaskan Magnum Sling Carry So Well
The pad is made from soft, flexible closed-cell neoprene backed with the Comfort Stretch material that gives the sling its name. That stretch is what absorbs the shock of each step so your rifle rides steady instead of slapping against your back. Butler Creek's Non-Slip Grippers run along the underside to keep the sling planted on your shoulder even when you are scrambling over rocks or leaning into a steep grade. It stays put, which means fewer readjustments and more time watching the country in front of you.
Cartridge Loops and Swivels on the Alaskan Magnum
This is the loaded version of the Comfort Stretch line. Four elastic cartridge holders are sewn right into the front of the sling, keeping spare rounds where you can reach them without digging through a pack. The 1-inch metal swivels come sewn into the sling for a quick, secure attachment to your rifle's studs, so it is ready to mount straight out of the package. Length adjusts from 20 to 46 inches, which covers everything from a compact carbine to a long-barreled magnum rifle and fits most body types and layering setups.
It is a straightforward, field-proven piece of gear that earns its keep on any hunt where you are covering ground. If you spend your seasons chasing elk, sheep, or whitetail across big country, the Alaskan Magnum takes a real load off your shoulder without any fuss.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the swivels come with the Alaskan Magnum sling?
Yes. This version ships with 1-inch metal swivels already sewn into the sling, so you can attach it to your rifle's swivel studs right out of the package. There is no need to buy separate swivels to get it mounted.
How many rounds does the cartridge holder hold?
The Alaskan Magnum has four elastic cartridge loops sewn into the front of the sling. They are designed to keep spare rounds close and easy to grab without opening your pack. Reviewers note the loops hold rounds snugly without being too tight or too loose.
Will this sling fit my rifle and body size?
The Comfort Stretch Alaskan Magnum adjusts from 20 to 46 inches, which covers most rifles and shotguns from compact carbines to long magnum barrels. That range also accommodates different body sizes and heavier layering during cold-weather hunts.
Does the Comfort Stretch padding really reduce felt weight?
Butler Creek rates the neoprene and Comfort Stretch backing to cut felt weight by up to 50 percent. The stretch absorbs the bounce a standard strap would transfer to your shoulder, which makes a real difference on long hikes over rough ground.
