    Watch the video below to see how easy it is to mount.



      There are a few different leather tannages available.

      • The Cheyenne Brown is an oil-tanned leather that has a soft feel and an almost suede-like texture.  It is lightweight and grips onto the rifle nicely.

      • The Black Latigo is more durable, with a slightly firmer feel, and has been very lightly oiled. 

      • Harness leather is a heavy-duty leather.  It has a denser feel because it is impregnated with tallow, wax, and oil at the tannery.  This leather is ideal for rifles used in all harsh outdoor environments.  The color comes with a lighter, natural finish and quickly darkens with use and sunlight to a dark russet brown.  It will show wear and naturally patina with use.  After a longer break in period, the leather becomes very soft and supple while retaining all its tensile strength.

      Bushcrats No-Drill Slings were created as a simple expedient solution for rifles without mounting hardware.  Most importantly, it gives you the safety of having a sling on your rifle with the convenience of carrying it without having to permanently modify or drill stud holes into your stock and add hardware.  It should be noted that this model sling is not a direct replacement for a sling with drilled-and-tapped studs, swivels, and hardware, but it is a great alternative that will provide safety and functionality with minimal trade-offs.

      This model is a fixed-length sling (the length is not adjustable).  The exact final length of the sling is extremely difficult to determine and depends on several factors that can vary depending on your individual rifle, including buttstock sizes (height and thickness), forearm length, and barrel diameter.  Each of these factors will add or subtract a few inches from the final length.

      My 1949 Savage Model 99 is in original condition and I intended to keep that 300 Savage that way. So many have been drilled and tapped for scopes and sling swivels destroying that iconic original design. It was nice to find someone who understands that. Thank you. A very satisfied customer.

      Took two weeks to come through UK customs but well worth the wait. Fits perfectly and securely on my Air Arms S510 carbine air rifle. Looks good as well. Couldn’t find anything comparable in the UK. Great service from Bill at Bushcrafts who I emailed last year before I eventually decided the extra £37 for Post and Packaging would be worth it. I can now go out hunting invasive grey squirrels to protect our native reds confident that the sling will support my rifle. Thanks Bill and Bushcrafts.

      This is my second no drill levergun sling from Bushcrafts. I won’t purchase a sling from anyone else. This one will be joining me for upcoming mountain lion season.

      Customer photo review of No-Drill Universal Fit Rifle Sling

      This is a wonderful sling for my 1892. I’m showing it along with my Henry Frontier 22. The Chiappa 1892 has the Bushcrafts sling, the Henry has a competing brand, both are of high quality and I would recommend both. However, for a third the price I wouldn’t hesitate on having a Bushcrafts model on the Henry. I don’t need a magazine clamp on the on the 1892 and I feel it has a more “frontier” look to it. The Bushcrafts sling is much more universal to any firearm and doesn’t need to be customized to the crescent at the back of the stock, so it would work well with an 1873. Since it doesn’t use hardware the Bushcrafts is very quiet. I wouldn’t hesitate to have another for any lever action I might purchase in the future!

      Just looking for a cheap sling and not have to drill into my beautiful rifle stock. Looked on the usual Amazon and Ebay sites. Found plenty of cheap alternatives, but just wasn't thrilled by any of them. Then just did a random search on google and came across this site and while initially, I thought $50 for a sling was high, I thought to myself, I want something nice and leather would pair great with this rifle. So went ahead and purchased. Once received, I could not ignore the softness of this leather and the smell of it. It just oozes quality and craftsmanship. Once on the rifle, I knew I made the best choice. This sling is hands down the best sling I could have bought. It stays where you put it and I can use it on multiple rifles that I don't want to drill. With a lifetime warranty, what is there to think about? Buy this sling, you won't regret it. -JP

      The sling looks amazing on my 32 Winchester special. I have been hunting with it this week and I'm pleased how it performed. It is comfortable to shoulder, quiet, good looking and doesn't slip or slide. Plus I didn't have to drill into my 70 year old rifle! Thanks for making such a fine product! Rick Simmons

      No-Drill Universal Fit Rifle Sling

      Looks great on my Winchester 94 Short Rifle and shotguns! I can’t wait to take it out this fall. This is a quality sling all around. Well made, durable, and a great fit. This leather will likely develop a nice patina through use. I especially like that I don’t have to drill into my rifle or shotguns to install it, while still getting a secure and practical sling setup that doesn’t interfere with my iron sights. Highly recommend!

      It's slipping up the barrel of my Remington 760 even though I have cinched it as tightly as I can

      No-Drill Universal Fit Rifle Sling

      I own a never fired Winchester 94 Trapper that I wanted to attach a sling and start using. I researched the various brands offering no drill options and thought the No-Drill Universal Fit Rifle Sling by Bushcrafts was interesting. I was especially attracted to how its design matched the fast action spirit and use of the rifle. I was a little worried about how secure the sling would be on the carbine, but once attached, which takes about a minute, I realized there was nothing to worry about. It attaches rock solid. It was especially appreciated that I could provide the measurements of the rifle and my height and it was custom cut to the perfect length. Thanks for a great product made in the USA. George

      I wish a sizing chart had been available for the No-Drill sling. When I ordered my first sling, I stated it was for a Win.94 . The standard length was sent, too long, but that sling found a home on my Hawken replica. I'm waiting for the short sling to match to my Win.94 . Roger Bossart

      No-Drill Universal Fit Rifle Sling

      I purchased sling as a gift for my son and he probably won’t use it until hunting season. However, a friend of mine has used one for years without any problems and that is why I bought it.

      Excellent quality leather. Got it for my 10/22 so I don’t have to drill into it. The front of the sling even works well as a replacement for the barrel band!

      No-Drill Universal Fit Rifle Sling

      Perfect vibe for my Henry Golden Boy with it's lever wrap, saddle ring and peep sight. The color (Dk Brown) is a nice match and I like the heft of the leather. WELL worth what I paid. Thanks, Bill, for getting me exactly what I asked for and damn quick, too! Mark R.
