Any suggestions, I’ve been using an old air rifle slip and it’s on its last legs, thought about a Napier Razorback, don’t want to have to buy twice so something quality would be preferred.

I made the mistake of buying a few cheap slips before getting an Ogdens Quickslip. Love it. British made. Feels like it will last for life

Ogdens, wouldn’t even look at anything else

Another vote for the Ogdens Quickslip.
Really good workmanship , great company to do business with and made in Britain.
I have two AIM dragging bags and cannot fault them - and as already mentioned, you can plenty of kit in them.
I have not seen the Ogden Quickslip others have made reference to, but when I was looking for a leather shotgun slip quite a few years ago, Ogdens ones were really well made. The only reason I did not get it at the time was finances and I bought a cheap canvas one instead.

Another (other, other, other, etc...) vote for Ogden's. You won't find better products or service, and if he doesn't have exactly what you want he'll make it for you.

Points to look for:
Durable materials
Weather proof - preferably for more than one whole day outing of going to the hill
Hand stitched at stress points ( carry sling Dees, flap tab, muzzle, buckle tab, any carry handles, drag loop)
Double thickness at action and muzzle for protection, preferably something robust like decent leather)
Old school, built to last, built to work; a retracting sling is handy if dragging on the hill.

I have the ridgeback and it’s great. Protects the rifle well.
And NO ZIP to wear out!
Zips are the weak point in most types.

Ben at Deer Central makes some really nice slings.

Another for Phil Ogdens, great guy U.K. made and great quality, an opportunity to not fund the Chinese for a change
Razor back is okay for small scopes but a tug by squeeze with anything like an 8X56.
Freeforester,
Did you have a hand in the making of that slip?

Both. You’ve heard of ‘12 years a slave’? I was 16 years a saddler, ‘nuff said…
