I have a look niggeloh back pack sling and find it very comfortable to carry my rifle for a long time.

I was recommended the Top Notch on here and it’s turned out to be a great sling for a fully loaded centerfire.

 

[Jimbob39]

Top notch one without doubt. Takes the weight off your back and shoulder nicely. Unclips quickly and easily to mount on the sticks.

You won’t beat the Nigeloh Backpack sling. Swap mine between rifles, works very well and extremely comfortable.

Get yourself a safety strap from best fox call. It'll transform any sling.

Praesidia Hunter Sling – Deer Central

This company (praesidia) seem to do things quite well. It’s uk made and very robust. Certainly prefer it to my nigeloh, red kettle, z aim, roetex.

I’ve never found this sling anywhere else for sale.

Same issue and just got a quake claw last weekend. So far I am impressed

I use a Harkila deluxe leather sling when I don’t attach my rifle to a pack. Works well, nice and wide.

Ogdens leather sling ,padded well made comfortable

 

[FreshFace]

I’ve used the Niggleloh “Paddy” for years which was really comfortable and spread the load well, then about 18 months ago bought a Quake Claw and found it equally as good with the added advantage of being virtually non slip.

Have you considered a more portable rifle ? I recently switched to the second strap type with a magnetic snap and a loop around for the pistol grip . It stops the thing rolling off my shoulder but that's it! a true short action and a skinny barrel and a smaller mod perhaps ?

 

[The Singing Stalker]

I use the niggeloh for the same reason as you require. Sharing the weight across both shoulders. Got one on both my hunting rifle and foxing rifle

All my rifles have Quake "Claw" slings. I carry my rifles over rough terrain, up rock faces, across prairies. Rain, heat, or snow, the rifle stays put yet comes off the shoulder when I want it to. I can go from slung to shooting with hardly a thought. ~Muir

I have been looking at these as my rifles tend to need assistance. Has anyone used them with a bino pouch or rucksack?

Yep i would do , BUT a variation for my ticket at the moment would take around 18 months so problem not worth it
and i love my Longbow so a padded strap is problem my only answer

If you want a solid leather sling with a section of it padded where it goes over your shoulder, give Dan a ring at Braces of Bristol.
I don't know the name of it but it is solid bridle leather for the whole length. I bought one some time ago and as far as I can remember about £50 but worth every penny.
