I absolutely love the SLING on this rifle (let's face it, I love this entire rig)- btw, this is not my picture, I found it on here some time ago, attempted to contact the owner but never heard back.

So, anyone know the manufacturer or where I can find this sling?
Otherwise, I'll just have it built.

Awesome! Thank you, good Sir!

Also: that is one effin pricey sling. What did they make it with? Virgin tears and gold lace?

The price of the ELITE goes up dramatically because there is over $50 in buckles alone. The cobra buckles are overkill but it is what we call rifle "bling"

. TAB also has the Regular Biathlon sling (RBS) as well as the Simple biathlon sling (SBS). The RBS is just like the elite except is uses the fastex buckles. The good thing about the RBS is it has the TAB Sling within the biathlon and can be used to sling up if needed. The SBS is priced cheaper as it does not have the sling within it. It is just used to carry your rifle on your shoulders. They are a great item.

i made one for nothin using old alice shoulder straps i had and some buckled nylon straps from the camping section at walmart. just mentionin. biathlon slings are the way to go for these heavy bohemoth artillary piece rifles if you intend to actually carry them farther than truck to bench.

Red Tac Gear was making them for Bauer Arms. (The ammo holders, not the TAB slings).

That is my rifle, a 24" .308 which shoots fantastic, and the sling is $120 with Fastex buckles and HK hooks.
Expensive, but worth every cent if you actually have to carry your rifle any distance, particularly if climbing is required.
I cheat and use this sling with my Recon as well.
Lisa (Beamer Girl) @ riflesonly.com is fantastic to order from.
Not sure who would need the Cobra buckles instead of Fastex ones.

If you just carry your rifle from the trunk of your Acura to the bench at the range, get something at Wally World, it'll be cheap enough for you.

Mike McIntyre @ MPI Rifles LLC built the barrelled action, I have no idea about the bolt handle but I realy like it and clearance is no problem with the SN-3 USO scope.

Re: Love this, want to know where I can find one...

litotes15, for someone who has 71 posts since registering six days ago and who asked the question today, "what does the bolt knob do" , to not quite being sure how a sfp scope works, to your numerous one word or simple " . " responses to threads, to trying to slide a for sale add into some one else's add, and many other total gems of wisdom posts, what makes you think the biathlon sling pictured isn't a good sling and worth the money?

Have you had one of these slings in your hands to see what goes in to constructing it?

Please tell me how we can make it a better sling. I'm always open to constructive criticism on how to make our products better for the end user.

TAB gear is worth every penny. If you are ever in the field, like at a Rifles Only PR1&2 it will be one of the best investments that you can make. I am all for people sharing their experiences about products but you obviously have ZERO experience with the product. So do everyone a favor and do not post worthless stupid shit bashing one of the best manafactures in our industry.
Thanks.

Good Kit cost money and you get what you pay for. Even my wife understands this as she has used my kit cheap and expensive. Can the average person tell the diff between a walmart $20 sling and a well made TAB or TIS. Most likely not but learn how to use a sling and you will understand why they cost a bit more and why they are made the way they are......

I thouht $250 was too much for a "gun case" till my wife picked me up an Eagle HSRC and gotta say its worth every penny....

Goes the same with a $300 optic and an $1800 optic. You pay to play and quality has a price.

I'm betting litotes15 is just 'free posting' stupid bullshit to get up to the magical 100. He'll sell his BSA and be gone soon enough...

Dude Dude Dude, I suppose you are an expert at what it takes to bring items to market?

That 200.00 sling has two buckles that cost 60.00 between them alone Ad all that US made material and US labor to picture. Then lets throw in over head for paying for a shop and lets see what you can make the sling for and still have your doors open next month.

I get tired of guys attacking fellow makers who stick with USA Materials and US Labor. There are very few of us left in the market place and we make far less profit than the f'rs that off shore everything

Tony well made sling

They do ship overseas, Lisa will email you very shortly after you place an order and when she has checked and assembled your order will email you with a Tracking Number.
