The Allen Trak Traction rifle sling is a 36 inch black sling with swivels included, built to keep a long gun secure on your shoulder instead of sliding off it. Traction is the whole point of the design: a sling that grips your jacket or pack strap stays where you put it when you are climbing, glassing, or covering ground. For hunters and range shooters alike, that one detail changes how a rifle carries.
What the Allen Trak Traction Rifle Sling Is and Who Should Run It
A sling is the most underrated accessory on a rifle. It is the difference between carrying a gun in your hands all day and having both hands free for binoculars, terrain, or gear, and it doubles as a shooting aid when you need a steadier position than offhand.
This one is built around a 36 inch length, which is the common all around size that fits most bolt guns, lever guns, and sporting rifles without excess strap flapping loose. The swivels are included, so you are not hunting for hardware after checkout.
It suits hunters walking long days, shooters hauling rifles between the truck and the firing line, and anyone who currently has a bare rifle and finally wants a proper way to carry it.
Key Features

- 36 inch length that suits the majority of full size hunting and sporting rifles
- Swivels included, so the sling is ready to mount without buying extra hardware
- Black finish that pairs with any stock color and does not draw attention in the field
- Adjustable strap layout so you can set carry length for your torso and clothing
- Frees both hands for terrain, optics, and gear while keeping the rifle secured
Length, Hardware, and How the Numbers Play Out
Thirty six inches is a useful default. It is long enough to carry a rifle muzzle up across the back over a light jacket, and short enough that you can cinch it down for a tight carry when you are moving through brush. Shooters wearing heavy winter layers or packs sometimes want more length, so measure across your torso with your actual hunting clothing on before you decide.
Swivels are the connection point that everyone forgets until they fail. Having them included means the sling is a complete system rather than a strap, and it means the sling geometry was designed around the hardware it ships with. Confirm your rifle has sling studs installed, since stud mounted swivels need something to attach to.
Practical Use, Care, and Compatibility
Set your carry length once and leave it. Most shooters run the sling long enough to clear a shoulder with a layer on, then use the adjuster to shorten it for a hasty shooting loop when a steadier position is needed. Practice getting into that loop before you need it in the field, because fumbling with a sling under time pressure is how shots get missed.
Check the swivel detents and the stud screws before each season. Swivel hardware works loose over time from vibration and handling, and a sling that releases while you are on a slope is both a safety issue and a fast way to damage a scope. A drop of thread locker on the studs and a periodic tug test solve it.
Care is simple. Brush off dirt and burrs, let the strap dry fully before storing it if it gets wet, and avoid leaving it compressed under a heavy load for months at a time. The Allen Trak Traction rifle sling will outlast the gun if you treat it like real equipment. When you are outfitting the rest of the setup, our apparel and gear category carries the cases, protection, and range supplies that pair with it.
Why It Belongs on Your Rifle
Rifles that are uncomfortable to carry get left in the truck, and a sling that slips off your shoulder every hundred yards is worse than no sling at all. An Allen Trak Traction rifle sling with real grip on the shoulder fixes the single most annoying part of carrying a long gun.
It is inexpensive, it installs in minutes, and it improves every trip you take with that rifle. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
