Allen 8494 CITADEL DBL POINT WPN SLNG LADDER BKLE
- Finish-Color:
- Black
The Allen 8494 Citadel Double Point Weapon Sling with Ladder Buckle is a two-point rifle sling built for hunters and shooters who need reliable, hands-free carry and quick transitions between shouldered and rested positions. A two-point sling distributes weight across your body, reduces fatigue on long hunts, and keeps your rifle stable during movement through brush, across terrain, or while glassing for game. The ladder buckle attachment system gives you secure, adjustable connection points on either end of the sling.
Two-point slings excel in the field—they're the working standard for hunters who hike to their stands, glass hillsides, or move between shooting positions. Unlike single-point slings that swing and rotate, a two-point design keeps your rifle oriented and ready. The ladder buckle hardware is purpose-built to lock down tight without slipping, so your attachment points stay put under the weight and movement of a loaded rifle.
The black finish blends into most rifle stocks and keeps a low profile in the field. Whether you're setting up for a long-range hunt, navigating rough terrain, or moving between stands, the Citadel sling is straightforward, rugged, and proven.

Frequently Asked Questions
What weapons can I use this sling on?
The Allen 8494 is designed as a double-point weapon sling, compatible with rifles and shotguns that have sling attachment points or can be fitted with mounting hardware.
How do two-point slings differ from single-point slings?
A two-point sling connects at both the front and rear of the rifle, keeping it stable and oriented as you move. Single-point slings attach at one location and allow more rotation, which some shooters prefer for rapid transitions but less control during hiking or scanning terrain.
Is the ladder buckle adjustable?
Yes—the ladder buckle attachment system allows you to adjust the sling length to fit your body and shooting style, whether you wear it high across your chest or lower on your shoulder.
