Description
Magpul built the RLS for folks who want a real shooting sling, not just a strap to hang a rifle over their shoulder. It pulls features from two proven designs, the Rhodesian and the 1907 match sling, and rolls them into something you can run on a bolt gun or a traditional stock without spending a fortune. The whole thing tips the scale at 4.4 ounces, so it disappears on the rifle until you need it.
What Makes the RLS Sling Steady Your Shots
The magic here is the adjustable forward loop. Slip your support arm through it, cinch it down, and the sling locks the rifle butt into your shoulder pocket for a rock-steady hold in field positions. That loop is what separates the RLS from your average carry sling, and it's the same trick precision and high-power competitors have leaned on for over a century. Threaded through the front and rear swivels on a traditional stock, it shines in the classic muzzle-up or muzzle-down shoulder carry.
The Webbing and Hardware on the Magpul RLS
At the core is Magpul's proprietary 1.25-inch nylon mesh webbing. The tubular weave means no sharp edges rubbing your neck, plus a double layer of cushion where it rides against you. It stays comfortable even when you torque it hard around your arm in a shooting loop. The colored webbing is NIR treated to cut its infrared signature, a nice touch carried over from Magpul's tactical line. Hardware is reinforced injection-molded polymer, and the proprietary sling keeper tucks away the tail so you're not fighting loose straps or snag points.
Getting the Coyote Tan RLS Set Up
The RLS fits standard 1.25-inch sling attachments and plays nice with Magpul's own 1.25-inch swivels and mounts, along with most third-party options in that size. Two length adjustments let you dial the fit for carry or shooting. The slick webbing surface makes those adjustments quick and easy. Made in the USA, this Coyote Tan version brings the same value and function as the rest of the line in an earthy shade that blends into the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the RLS a shooting sling and not just a carry strap?
The RLS has an adjustable forward loop you slip your support arm through. Cinch it down and it applies tension that pulls the rifle butt into your shoulder, steadying your hold in prone, sitting, or kneeling positions. That loop design comes straight from proven 1907 match and Rhodesian slings, so it does far more than just haul a rifle around.
Will the Magpul RLS work on my bolt-action hunting rifle?
Yes. The RLS threads through the front and rear sling swivels on a traditional stock and carries the rifle muzzle up or muzzle down over the shoulder. It fits standard 1.25-inch sling attachments, so most bolt guns and traditional rifles are good to go. It's actually one of the better Magpul options for classic rifles like a Remington 700.
Is the RLS comfortable to wear for long periods?
The nylon mesh webbing uses a tubular weave with no harsh edges, plus a double layer of cushion where it rides against your neck and arm. It stays soft even when you torque it hard in a shooting loop. It's not a wide padded hunting sling, but for its 1.25-inch width it carries comfortably, especially with rifles that aren't unusually heavy.
Does the Coyote Tan RLS take Magpul swivels and mounts?
It does. The RLS is built for standard 1.25-inch sling attachments and pairs directly with Magpul's own 1.25-inch swivels and mounts. Most third-party attachments in that same size will work too, giving you flexibility on how you mount it.
