Description
Carrying a rifle for hours has a way of wearing on your shoulder, and the Butler Creek Easy Rider Sling is built to fix exactly that. The body is made from thick, shock-absorbing neoprene that cushions the weight of your firearm and helps spread the load across your shoulder instead of letting it dig into one spot. Hunters who've logged long days in the field tend to notice the difference on the walk back to the truck, especially with a heavier rig slung over one arm.
What Makes the Easy Rider Sling Stay Put
The standout feature here is the rubberized SharkSkin backing. That grippy underside hugs your shoulder and keeps the sling from sliding off, even when you're pushing through brush or wearing a slick hunting coat. The soft rubber material has just enough stretch and give to soak up bounce as you move, which is a big part of why folks call it comfortable. Free hands mean you can carry decoys, gear, or a set of shed antlers without babysitting your rifle the whole way.
Build and Sizing on the Butler Creek Easy Rider
This sling measures 2.5 inches wide and adjusts down from a full 48 inches to around 40 inches, so you can dial it in for your frame and how you like to carry. The shoulder pad runs roughly 14.75 inches long, giving you plenty of padded surface where it counts. Fully bound edges and a urethane cover give it a clean, finished look and help it hold up to weather and hard field use season after season.
Fitting the Easy Rider Neoprene Sling
One thing worth knowing up front: this sling does not come with swivels. It's designed to work with standard 1-inch sling swivels, so if your rifle isn't already set up with a pair, you'll want to grab some to complete the install. Once it's mounted, setup is quick and the sling does the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Butler Creek Easy Rider Sling come with swivels?
No, this sling ships without swivels. It's built to work with standard 1-inch sling swivels, so if your rifle doesn't already have a set installed you'll want to pick up a pair to finish the job. Once your swivels are in place, the sling attaches quickly.
How wide and how long is the Easy Rider Sling?
The sling is 2.5 inches wide and adjusts from about 40 inches up to a full 48 inches. The padded shoulder section runs roughly 14.75 inches long, which gives you good cushioning right where the weight rides. That range fits most builds and carry styles.
What keeps the Easy Rider Sling from sliding off my shoulder?
The rubberized SharkSkin backing does the heavy lifting here. That grippy underside holds firm against your shoulder and stays put through active movement, even over a slick hunting jacket. Paired with the slight stretch in the neoprene, it stays planted while you walk.
Is the Butler Creek Easy Rider Sling good for all-day hunts?
It's a solid pick for long days afield. The thick, shock-absorbing neoprene spreads the weight of your firearm across your shoulder and cushions the bounce that comes with a lot of walking. Many hunters find it makes a heavy rifle feel noticeably easier to carry over the course of a day.
