Butler Creek Featherlight Rifle Sling, Black Foam, Adjustable 22"-36" OAL, 3" Wide, 2 Cartridge Loops (Swivels Not Included)

A rifle sling that actually weighs less and feels better than what you're probably running now. The Butler Creek Featherlight Rifle Sling brings a lightweight foam construction to a design that doesn't sacrifice comfort or functionality. If you're hunting all day, working a range, or moving between stands, this sling handles the job without the shoulder fatigue you get from heavier neoprene or canvas alternatives. The closed-cell foam core runs about 45% lighter than traditional padded slings, yet stays soft enough that it won't dig in after hours of wear.

The 3-inch width spreads load across your shoulder, and the cut-out slots in the foam keep things breathable—no more sweaty shoulder in warm weather or jacket bunching under cold gear. A large thumb loop anchors the sling securely when you're moving through brush or uneven terrain, and the two built-in cartridge loops let you carry spare rounds right where you can reach them fast. The sling adjusts from 22 inches to over 36 inches overall, so whether you're a smaller-framed shooter or wearing a heavy coat, you can dial it to fit your carry style.

Note that swivels are sold separately—you'll need to pair this with your choice of hardware depending on your rifle's hardware or QD mounts. This is a rifle-specific design, straightforward and reliable, without the marketing hype. Just a lighter, more comfortable way to carry your gun through a long day afield.
