The claw rifle sling uses the latest in soft touch materials. The durable, non slip polymer pad is molded directly onto the sling webbing and will allow approximately 1/2" of stretch. As an added value, the claw rifle sling comes with patented Hush Stalker II sling swivels which will not squeak, rust or rattle, and are 2 1/2 times stronger and lighter than conventional metal swivels.
