    Best Value Sling

    Hi - looking for advice on a new sling for a Tikka T3

    I like lightweight and prefer neoprene when mountain hunting as I find it better when over my back and using 2 hands to climb.

    My mate has a Niggeloh which is good, and I have been using a cheap Outdoor Connections Razor with plastic swivels on my Kimber which is actually great. Not sure how long it will last though.

    Opinions/advice is welcome. Thanks.

    I use bushbuck ones which have been good and comfortable but one split the foam on a long walk with my heavy enough 300wsm. Its still holding together but won't take it on a long walk now

    Got a cheap Ridgeline neoprene one a while back with metal fittings. Was pretty cheap $40.00ish I think and has lasted well. Although I admit I don't often use a sling in the bush

    I got in a rubber sling from the US (when we were able to) from Slogan Outdoors Product at Slogan Outdoors Slings. The Original Rubber Slings. As seen on TV

    Have heard this is a good sling too though

    Your mate with the niggeloh has the right idea. Sold a pile of them and use them on all my own guns . Never seen or heard of one having any issue at all

    Thanks for the advice - looks like forking out for Niggeloh is my best option and where I was heading before.
