Rifle sling chest strap options?

[Dav247]

Hi, looking for recommendations.

Either a new sling or preferably a strap to convert my existing rifle sling into something resembling the z-aim etc.

Have seen the "safety gun strap" from bestfoxcall- best part of £40 for a simple strap doesn't seem worth it.

Also does this type of sling work well when wearing a bino pack? Most pics I've seen shows them sitting high across the chest

Thanks

Praesidia Hunter Rifle Sling may be an option ?

I think I remember there was a thread on here during the Covid lockdown showing how to make a DIY Z Aim sling.

I personally for the price found the napier

APEX SIDEWINDER RIFLE SLING​

excellent and have them on 3 rifles

Dump the bino bra and breath easy.

Simple to make a sling from a variety of materials if £40 is too much for an approved solution.

I use the Alpine innovations dual sling on all my rifles, very simple but very good.

Praesidia strap, got them on 3 rifles, feel better than z-aim, order from wildcat mods site

Basically just get a quake claw sling that’s the problem solved simples… ie a sling that does its job and doesn’t fall off without some elaborate bondage setup

I watched his video of using it with a bino harness but did look like it was being worn lower than anyone usually would. I think it would cross over/under mine.

Thanks for the above, does anyone use with bino pack regularly or are they generally a pain to mix the two?

I use the napier with a kuiu bino harness for the habroks for stalking and its not a problem sits perfect and doesn’t move and ive walked for miles with it one press of the button swing the rifle under your arm straight on to the sticks

I use a Marsupial Gear one, with my rifle strap- no problems.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I don't want to steer away from the standard sling too much as alot of my stalking is woodland. I think I'll give the Napier a go for now see how I get on with it.

Like that idea. You could turn any sling into that with a couple of bits of paracord

I made this from scratch with webbing and buckles off Ebay.

It works well with a bino harness and a rucksack too if needed. The reason for this is I made the chest strap extra long so it is versatile enough to work in summer over a t-shirt or winter over various layers, with a bingo harness and rucksack too.

I definitely wouldn't spend £40 on the chest strap as you could make 10 for that price and they'd probably be better and more suited to your needs.
