Butler Creek 80073 Easy Rider Rifle Sling 48" Neoprene Black

The Butler Creek 80073 Easy Rider Rifle Sling eliminates shoulder fatigue during extended hunting sessions and tactical operations with its 2.5-inch wide neoprene construction and sharkskin backing. This 48-inch adjustable sling distributes rifle weight evenly across the shoulder while maintaining secure weapon retention.

What Makes This Different

The Easy Rider features dual-layer construction combining soft neoprene padding with a textured sharkskin backing that prevents slipping on clothing or gear. Standard rifle slings typically measure 1-1.25 inches wide, while this 2.5-inch design spreads weight across twice the surface area. The sharkskin texture grips fabric without snagging on brush or equipment, maintaining position during movement.
