CrossBreed Holsters is entering into the rifle-sling market, capitalizing on the experience and expertise created by developing leather and Kydex holster solutions to create a quality option for rifle carry.

The new CrossBreed rifle sling series has three models that are hand-crafted for use by hunters and recreational shooters. All models are made of 5-ounce cowhide leather and are offered in two finishes—black or brown—to best match the rifle’s aesthetics. Each sling is stitched with industrial-grade nylon thread for aesthetics and long life. The slings also include front and rear removeable sling swivels

CrossBreed Scout Rifle Sling

Developed as a minimalist-style sling ideal for scout rifles and carbines, the Scout is a one-piece sling with a one-inch width that easily holds to the shoulder and allows the shooter to quickly wrap up their arm into in a “hasty sling” for added stability. MSRP for the Scout sling is $24.95.

CrossBreed Walker Rifle Sling

Built on a two-piece configuration, the Walker is well-suited to work with carbine- and rifle-length arms when the shooter desires extra width to more evenly distribute the gun’s weight. The shoulder strap has a 2-inch width and is backed by a soft suede lining to enhance comfort. MSRP for the Walker sling is $49.95.

CrossBreed Tracker Rifle Sling

Another two-piece sling design, the Tracker is made for outdoor enthusiasts who value comfort and support for all-day rifle carry. The Tracker adds a layer of foam padding sandwiched between a 5-ounce cowhide and soft suede backer. Combined with a 2.75-inch width for better weight distribution, this makes for a hunting sling that will keep you going from pre-dawn until you are back to camp. MSRP: $49.95.

All three CrossBreed slings use Chicago-style screws to secure the sling swivels and to make sling length adjustments. With the two Chicago screws on the adjustment holes, it is designed to have a streamline function without the use of bulky keepers.
