Butler Creek Mountain Sling w/ 1.25″ Swivels, Black Nylon

Description

The Butler Creek Mountain Sling keeps things simple in the best way. It shows up ready to hang on your rifle or shotgun with 1.25-inch Uncle Mike's Super Swivels already sewn onto both ends, so there's no fumbling with hardware or hunting for the right studs. Snap it onto your gun's QD swivel studs, slide the buckle to your preferred length, and you're set for the walk in.

The whole point of the Mountain design is that narrow 1.25-inch web. It's slim enough to sit alongside a backpack strap without fighting for shoulder real estate, which is exactly what you want when you're hauling gear up a ridge or covering ground on a long day hunt. A non-slip lining runs along the strap to keep it planted on your shoulder instead of creeping off every few steps, and the nylon holds its shape without fraying edges or pulling loose at the loops.

Why the Mountain Sling Earns Its Name

This one is built for people who actually move with their firearm. The trim profile shrugs off jacket collars and pack straps, and when you're glassing or scrambling and don't want it dangling, the sling rolls up compact enough to tuck into a jacket pocket. It's a favorite on lightweight rifles like a bolt-action Howa or a Remington where you don't want a bulky padded strap adding weight and bulk.

Getting the Butler Creek Mountain Sling Set Up

The one-hand adjustment is the sleeper feature here. Slide the buckle to cinch it tight for a hasty carry across your body, or let it out for a relaxed shoulder carry, all without stopping to mess with buckles. At 48 inches of adjustable length with a black finish that disappears against most gear, it's a no-nonsense pick that pairs with just about any rifle or shotgun wearing standard 1.25-inch swivel studs.
