The sling feels very nice on the should and can even accomodate an across the body style with a minimum of discomfort. I was surprised given the slim style on the sling.

Constructions seems sturdy. The give/tension of the sling material works nicely should the user try any sling assisted firing positions.

Mine came without any attachments for clipping onto a sling adapter for my rifle. This seemed at complete odds with every similar product out there. I was able to finally rig a sturdy strap/buckle hookup that keeps the sling in place and will not come out again. It was very difficult to do this and required a lot of pulling/yanking on the straps to push them through the buckle twice. Neither my wife or I could figure out any alternative install method. Interenet searches returned solely adapter installs not applicable here. The product comes with zero instructions.

The one advantage of my setup is that it is plenty strong and because of the lack of adapters is whisper quiet with no metal-on-metal clanging that you would expect from using an adapter. I'm keeping it. As the price seemed pretty good I am giving it 4/5 stars. However, buyer beware and maybe insist on an adapter if you want flexibility and ease of a traditional install.

Great sling. Lightweight and the elasticity makes your rifle feel much lighter than it is. Good gripping material that will not slide off of your shoulder.

Bought this item last year. Loved it in the begining due to the comfortable weight distribution. Took it on a couple hunts and within 6 moths it broke. Worst part was that it happened in the field during a hunt. The stiching securing the neorprene at each end creats weak points that slowly tear with each step. You won't be able to see it of course until your gun goes flying to the ground. I luckily caught it on the way down, but still had to hand carry my gun for the rest of the trip. What ever sling you buy, ensure it it has solid webbing to support weight and cushion for comfort. This Easy Rider uses the neoprene to both hold the weight and provide comfort, which it obviously is not strong enough to do.

Not worth the $$

No swivel clips included so you paying for a below average sling. Get a Mossy Oak from WalMart instead

This sling is sturdily made and comfortable to use. It fit on my 22 Winchester rifle easily, It helps me steady the rifle when shooting standing up. My shooting scores have improved since I started using the sling.

I really like this sling it is made well with quality materials and holds your shoulder.I would buy another but not from the same vender.

excellent rifle sling. you could put this thing on a .50 cal. Barrett and be comfortable carrying it a few miles.

Although I was looking for a single point sling i found this to be most adequate. Quality is good, assembly easy, price good, delivery great.

Good Sling - but darn near immposible to thread the double thick ends through the swivel attachments (purchased separtly). I gave up after 1/2 hr., wife gave up after another 1/2 hr. I refused to totally give up and got it threaded, with a lot of effort and about another hour of my time.

This is the 3rd sling I've purchased for my rifles. It attaches quickly and is very comfortable. The only bad part of this is the shipping charges, which are outrageous unless they bundle it with the free shipping on large orders. 9.00 shipping on a 14.00 sling makes you want to go to Walmart and just buy the sling!
