Brownells Competitor Plus Two-Point Sling w/Number 1.25", Black

Competitor Plus Sling for those who appreciate the elegance of fine leather and the precision of expert craftsmanship, the Competitor Plus Sling is a masterpiece that promises to elevate your shooting experience. This sling is a faithful reproduction of the iconic 1907 Military Sling, revered by high-power service rifle shooters, discerning hunters and collectors of pre-WWII military firearms. It has been the trusted companion on countless journeys, carrying more rifles over more miles than nearly any other sling. Crafted entirely in the U. S., the Competitor Plus Sling is made from the finest oak-tanned, top-grain U. S. Steer hide. This premium leather is complemented by robust, forged, blued steel hooks, each secured with three hand-hammered copper rivets for unparalleled durability. The keepers are meticulously stitched to ensure a snug fit, eliminating the common pitfalls of contemporary sling imitations. The leather used in the Competitor Plus Sling is a marvel in itself. Weighing in at a substantial 9 oz - 10 oz, it is tanned to perfection using oak tannage, avoiding chromic salts that can tarnish and corrode metal. This process results in a leather that is flexible, stable and tough, resisting stretching and maintaining its integrity without becoming oily. The smooth, burnished finish highlights the natural grain, offering both beauty and resilience. Designed for functionality, the Competitor Plus Sling can bend and twist without splitting or cracking, even around the holes. The extra-thick, blued steel hooks are engineered to withstand extreme pressure, ensuring they remain securely in place during use. The keepers, skived at a taper and reinforced with 5-cord waxed linen thread, hold your adjustments firmly, allowing you to focus on your shooting without distraction. The Competitor Plus Sling is more than just a tool - it is an investment in quality and performance. It offers extended service life as a traditional field sling, authenticity for restoration projects and the potential for higher match scores by eliminating distractions. While it may come at a premium, the exceptional quality and reliability of the Competitor Plus Sling make it a worthy addition to any shooter's arsenal. Spend your time honing your skills and enjoying the hunt, confident in the knowledge that your sling will perform flawlessly.
