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.
