The VTAC Wide Padded Sling in Coyote Brown is a rifle sling built for shooters who carry heavier firearms all day and need real comfort without sacrificing function. Viking Tactics engineered this padded sling to deliver the same quick-adjustment capability as their original design, but added closed-cell foam padding on the shoulder strap—the contact point that matters most when you're humping a full-featured rifle through the field or running stages at the range.
If you've used a standard two-point sling and noticed fatigue where the strap digs into your shoulder, you understand the appeal. That foam doesn't just feel better; it distributes pressure across a wider area, making long carries noticeably less punishing. The forward-adjustable section works the same as the original VTAC design, so you get fast, one-handed length changes from any shooting position—whether you're transitioning between targets, moving through barricades, or settling into a solid rest.
The Coyote Brown finish blends with most tactical and hunting setups. This sling is purpose-built for precision rifle work, duty use, and serious hunting where your rig spends hours riding on your body. It's the kind of thoughtful refinement that separates a sling you tolerate from one you actually appreciate after a full day afield.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the VTAC Wide Padded Sling different from a standard sling?
The main difference is the closed-cell foam padding on the shoulder strap. Standard slings can dig in during long carries, especially with heavier rifles. The foam padding distributes pressure more evenly across your shoulder, reducing fatigue without adding bulk or compromising adjustment speed.
Can I adjust the sling length while shooting?
Yes. The forward-adjustable portion lets you change the sling length quickly and easily from any position—mounted, prone, behind cover, or transitioning between shots.
What rifles and setups will this sling work with?
The VTAC Wide Padded Sling is a two-point sling compatible with rifles equipped with standard sling attachment points. It's suitable for tactical rifles, precision rifles, and hunting rifles designed to accept two-point slings.
