Butler Creek Easy Rider Sling - Black Neoprene, Sharkskin Back, Adjustable 48" OAL for Rifles (Model 80073)

The Butler Creek Easy Rider Sling for rifles combines practical comfort with rugged durability—exactly what you need when you're covering ground in the field or settling in for a long day at the range. This adjustable rifle sling reaches up to 48 inches overall length, giving you flexibility to wear it however works best for your carry style, whether you're navigating timber or transitioning between positions.

What sets the Easy Rider apart is its dual-material design: a thick neoprene body that absorbs the weight of your rifle and reduces fatigue on your shoulder, paired with a rubberized sharkskin backing that grips your gear and keeps the sling from slipping during active movement. That grip matters when you're hiking steep country or working through brush—your rifle stays put, not constantly sliding or rotating on your shoulder.

Construction-wise, Butler Creek finished this sling right. Fully bound edges and a urethane cover give it a professional, durable look that holds up to real use. Black neoprene is versatile enough for any rifle setup, and the straightforward design means there's nothing to snag, fail, or complicate your carry. This isn't a tactical sling with unnecessary hardware; it's a hunting and range sling built on the principle that a good sling should be comfortable, stay in place, and last.
