Safari Slings

[blacksn95]

Anyone seen any for sale these days? Cabela's used to carry them but it seems they discontinued them. I find them quite handy and want to get a few more for my rifles.

Good luck finding them but if you do post it up or pm me, they are the best thing since sliced bread.

Enjoy boys.

The only thing I don't like about the safari sling is it doesn't work well with the buttstock shell holder. I find it always gets caught up on the bullet.

That said, I like it enough that I've quit using the buttstock shell holders.

Awesome sling impossible to find

There’s also Montana gun slings. Not exactly the same as safari sling but similar. Nicer quality though as they are leather.

Ha ha, reason i asked was the guy who owns the elk hunting company, emailed me and said my 2 slings that i ordered are going to be shipped 2 days late as someone from Princeton ordered 5 :shock:

Hahhaa Yes, it was a big order...

I made up my own , had to try the concept before spending the loot, found it worked fine after a tweak of the size of the two loops, still using it after several years
just made it up using simple utility straps and a couple orings
not labelled but functional

I love my Montana sling, it’s quick adjusting, adjustment hold firm, sling is sturdy and carries well!

the next sling I buy will be the Blue Force Gear hunting sling, would like to give it a try. I have a Blue Force Gear sling on my tactical rifle and it’s great.

That won't work for long once Turdhole comes knocking on your door to confiscate your weapon of mass destruction :(

[stinkyduck]

But Maybe we will be like New Zealand, and only give up 13%.

[quarterman]

I got mine at del selins in vernon. Not sure if he still carries them

[Tred]

I know this is an old Thread but thank you to Bag1 for giving me a good potential source for a safari sling

[elknut]

Reviving this thread. Bought a Boonie Packer Safari sling last year after reading all the rave reviews. It looked like a good idea, quick access and comfortable. The sling came in and I installed in on one of my rifle. Walking around the house and pointing the rifle here and there I thought was going to be great come hunting time.

First day out, I drive to my favorite trail. Get out of the truck, put my bino harness on, grab my rifle and sling it up. Nope! That's not going to work with a bino harness! Took the sling off and put my Ultimate Gun Sling back on. I was quite disappointed. Am I missing something or is it just not compatible with a bino harness?

Something is wrong, I put my bino harness on, then my pack if i'm wearing one, then the gun goes over top of everything and it works fine.

Maybe I did t give it enough of a chance. I’ll give it another try.

I just make sure it is the last thing I put on (the gun and safari sling). Bino harness first, then pack if i'm wearing one, and then the gun final. I think its a great sling and use it a lot, have been using it for a long time. I can walk around hands free and use binos. Only downside for me is if you have a long barrell like 26" and a muzzle breaker out front then it can sway down sometimes, but I just tilt the rifle a little more up or just rest one hand.
