The Allen 85 Standard Rifle Sling delivers reliable weapon retention and carry comfort through its proven Endura fabric construction and 3/8" foam padding system. This 1-inch wide sling handles extended carry sessions while maintaining secure weapon control across hunting, tactical, and competitive shooting applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic nylon slings that dig into shoulders during extended use, the Allen 85 incorporates genuine Cordura reinforcement at high-wear contact points and distributes weight across a full 1-inch width. The 3/8-inch closed-cell foam padding compresses minimally under load while the Endura fabric resists abrasion from repeated adjustments. This combination maintains comfort during 8-hour hunting expeditions or extended range sessions where lesser slings fail.
Key Features
- 1-inch Endura webbing with Cordura reinforcement panels for enhanced durability
- 3/8-inch closed-cell foam padding distributes weight across shoulder contact area
- Fully adjustable length accommodates 28-48 inch configurations
- Heavy-duty steel swivels rated for rifles up to 12 pounds
- Quick-adjust slider mechanism allows rapid length changes without removal
- Weather-resistant construction maintains flexibility in temperature extremes
- Compatible with standard 1-inch sling swivel studs and QD attachment points
Field performance centers on the sling's ability to maintain consistent tension without stretching or binding during position transitions. The foam padding compresses evenly under rifle weight while the Endura webbing resists the edge rolling common in cheaper alternatives. Hunters appreciate the silent adjustment system that won't spook game, while competitive shooters rely on the consistent positioning for rapid target acquisition.
