Rifle slings are available in various materials. The material used must meet high demands. It must be robust and durable while having as low a weight as possible. The removal of the weapon from the shoulder into position should be as quiet as possible. The three most important materials for rifle slings are loden, leather, and neoprene. Loden is inexpensive compared to leather. It is soft and allows for nearly silent removal of the hunting rifle from the shoulder into position. Loden is a natural material and is well-suited for use of the weapon while sitting. It serves well as a base. The soft material ensures comfortable carrying of the weapon. As a natural material, leather is popular, but it comes at a price. Leather looks elegant and is timelessly beautiful. Over time, it becomes even more beautiful with use. Leather is characterized by robustness, stability, and durability. For carrying comfort and slip resistance, leather rifle slings are sometimes surrounded by a neoprene layer. Neoprene is an inexpensive material, but it is slip-resistant and resilient. It is soft, comfortable to wear, and durable, as it does not stretch out. Neoprene rifle slings are available in various colors, such as classic brown, green, or in the signal color orange. The choice of material depends on your preferences as well as the intended use.
Rifle slings are offered in several designs. The design depends on the intended use. While some rifle slings are suitable for all rifles and shotguns, others are tailored for a specific purpose.
