Description
Some slings are just a strap to sling your rifle over your shoulder. The Montana Sling is built to do more than that. Designed by Montana hunter and outfitter Pat Sinclair and field-tested across big game country from Alaska to the Northwest Territories, this brown leather sling gives you a comfortable carry rig that also doubles as a shooting aid when it counts. Slide the knot to shorten it for packing, then let it out for a sling-supported firing position, all in a matter of seconds.
What Makes the Montana Sling Different
The magic here is the buckleless single-loop design and the triple-wrap sliding knot. There's no metal hardware to bang against your stock or wear the finish, and the knot never over-tightens, so it stays put after you set it. It's a simpler system than an old-school 1907 competition sling, and folks who don't want to fuss with cuffs and loops tend to appreciate that. The rough side of the leather grips your jacket and holds position well, which is exactly what you want when you're steadying up on an animal.
Built From Thick Bridle Leather
This is made from 10 ounce oil-tanned bridle leather that measures around .170 inch thick, so well over an eighth of an inch. That heft is what gives it the durability and comfort people talk about, spreading the weight of a heavy rifle across your shoulder over long days. The 1-1/4 inch width is the popular choice for heavier boltguns, lever guns, and anything you plan to carry a while. It adjusts from about 24 inches out to 40.5 inches, so it fits a wide range of setups.
Fitting the Montana Sling to Your Rifle
It ships with Uncle Mike's quick detach swivels included, and it works with any rifle running standard QD sling studs. Studs themselves are not included, so if your rifle isn't already set up for them you'll want to add a set. Brand new leather can feel stiff at first, which is normal for quality bridle leather, and it breaks in and softens up nicely with use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Montana Sling come with sling swivels?
Yes, it includes a pair of Uncle Mike's quick detach swivels right in the package. It works with any rifle set up for standard QD sling studs. The studs themselves are not included, so if your rifle doesn't already have them you'll need to add a set.
Can you use the Montana Sling as a shooting aid, or is it just for carrying?
It does both. The sliding knot lets you shorten it for comfortable carry, then extend it into a hasty sling to steady your rifle for a supported firing position. Hunters use it exactly this way in the field, and it transitions between the two in just a few seconds.
Is the 1-1/4 inch width better than the 1 inch Montana Sling?
The 1-1/4 inch is the go-to for heavier rifles like big boltguns and lever guns because the wider strap spreads the weight and rides comfortably over long days. Some folks who own the 1 inch version end up wishing they'd sized up for their heavier setups. The 1 inch is a fine, slightly trimmer option if you're running a lighter rifle.
Why does the Montana Sling feel stiff when it's new?
That stiffness comes from the thick 10 ounce oil-tanned bridle leather, which is what makes it so durable and comfortable once broken in. It's completely normal for quality leather. With regular use it softens up and molds to your gear nicely.
