The Montana Sling has earned a loyal following among big game hunters, and it's easy to see why. Designed back in 1990 by professional hunter and guide Pat Sinclair, this 1-inch brown leather sling is built from thick, oil-tanned bridle leather and carries a 2-point, two-swivel setup. It skips the buckles and complicated hardware in favor of a single loop and a sliding knot that lets you change the length with one hand, whether you're cinching the rifle tight to your body on a long pack-in or letting it out to steady up for a shot.
The heart of this sling is its prusik-style slip knot. Loop one end through the other and the knot anchors itself, then slides up or down when you want to adjust and holds firm when you don't. There's no over-tightening and nothing to fiddle with in the field, which is exactly what you want when game steps out and the clock is ticking. Folks who've run these for years tend to describe them as simple, effective, and well made, and they hold up on everything from heavy bolt guns to lever actions.
Plenty of hunters buy a sling just to haul the rifle, but the Montana Sling really shines when you use it as a shooting aid. Lengthen it out and drop into a hasty sling wrap and you've got real support for an aimed shot from field positions. That versatility is a big part of why it gets recommended for hunting again and again.
Like a good pair of boots or a baseball glove, this leather starts out stiff and softens with use. A little quality leather oil helps the knot seat properly and keeps the whole thing supple over the seasons. The brown finish tends to warm into a rich, medium-brown tone as it ages and takes oil, and it pairs beautifully with walnut and blued steel. It's American made, family run, and the kind of gear you buy once and pass down.
The 1-inch version, like this one, is a great all-around choice and looks trim on classic sporter rifles. If you're carrying a heavier rifle and want to spread the weight across a bit more of your shoulder, some hunters prefer the wider 1-1/4-inch. For most standard hunting rigs, the 1-inch handles the job just fine.
Yes, that's one of its strong points. Let the length out and wrap into a hasty sling position and you get solid support for aimed field shots. Plenty of hunters use it both ways, carrying tight to the body and then quickly lengthening it to steady up when it's time to shoot.
A fresh sling comes stiff and dry, and a dry knot won't grip the way it should. The fix is simple: break it in with use and work in some quality leather oil so the knot seats and tightens properly. Once it's conditioned, that sliding knot holds its position and adjusts smoothly.
Out of the package it reads as a medium brown, and it darkens into a richer tone as it ages and takes oil. It pairs really well with walnut stocks and blued steel. If you're after a very specific shade, keep in mind leather naturally deepens over time with handling and conditioning.
