Allen 8311 Standard Sling made of Black Endura with 20"-42" OAL, Padded Design & Swivels for Rifles
Allen Company
The Allen 85 Standard Rifle Sling is a no-frills workhorse designed for hunters and shooters who need reliable, comfortable carry without complications. Built from durable Endura nylon in classic black, this adjustable rifle sling balances affordability with the practical features that matter in the field—cushioned support, solid construction, and enough adjustability to fit your workflow, whether you're glassing from a ridge or moving through dense timber.
The 3/8" foam padding distributes weight across your shoulder better than bare webbing, reducing fatigue during long days afield. The 1" width keeps the sling narrow enough to avoid interfering with scope turrets or cheek weld while staying wide enough to spread pressure. Adjustment is straightforward—dial in your carry length once and lock it in. This isn't a fancy two-point tactical rig; it's a single-point design built for hunters who want a sling that stays out of the way and does its job.
Allen has been making hunting gear since 1970, and the 85 reflects that heritage: proven materials, honest engineering, no marketing hype. It pairs well with any rifle platform and works equally well for casual range trips or serious hunting seasons. If you're looking to upgrade from a cheap nylon strap or add a sling to a rifle that doesn't have one, the Allen 85 delivers comfort and durability without breaking the bank.
