Who sells the "Classic" double rifle web (?) sling
      #64323 - 20/10/06 07:30 AM

I am looking for the "classic" safari white web (?) sling that is often seen on double rifles in the past. I know there are most likely better slings available but I like the looks of the original simple leather and web sling. Thank You.

The best ones come from Westley Richards. These slings are 2" wide and are very comfortable with a heavy rifle. They also look very "African". IIRC they cost about 80 bucks. Hope this helps.

I bought mine from Lewis Drake and assoc. It is the "Mulholland" brand and has light tan webbing and is very well made. I took it on my recent safari and was well pleased with it and it cost $50. I believe it is the same maker as WR.

The best sling made is the TRADER KEITH CLASSIC CANVAS RIFLE STRAP.
So good they are that I bought a box of them.

PS; These Slings are very comfortable and have thin rubber strips threaded into the canvas to minimise sliping while on your sholder and they are not so heavy that they rock the rifle when at fireing position.

I have a classic looking two inch rifle sling for my doubles.

But I'm sold on the padded sling for comfort for carrying a heavy rifle around all day when hunting. Don't look classic but much more comfortable on the shoulder.

Last ones I bought were from Cabelas and were about $25, but I don't see them in their current catalog. I think the one's from the guy who took over Cape Outfitters are the same. They have good leather and cast brass fittings. Jeff's Ouitfitters is the company that has the old Cape Outfitters. Their slings have nice buckles in place of the brass posts on mine, are even nicer I believe.

Jeff's Outfitters has some nice ones. I find his prices are less than the big name guys for the same product and you can order on the web.

I have the canvas one on my Heym Sfari and on my Simson Suhl 12 gauge. They are well made.

Here's the link to the slings:

I think Galazans (Connnecticut Shotgun) also carries them.
