When hunting with an M1A, it is important to choose a rifle sling that has rubberized backing that grips your shoulder comfortably while keeping the sling in place and the rifle where you need it to be. Here is a look at three top rated rifle slings that you can use with your M1A rifle.

#1 - Butler Creek Neoprene Rifle Sling - Retails for between $11.99 and $21.99

Butler Creek Neoprene Rifle SlingThese neoprene rifle slings are equipped using comfort stretch backing, designed to reduce the weight of the rifle and to control the bounces that are typically associated with using a neoprene sling for your rifle. The comfort stretch sling is designed to combine the waterproof ability of closed-sell neoprene with comfort-stretch style backing, which reduces the weight of the M1A rifle by 50% while controlling the bounce that you may typically experience. Butler Creek also offers an Alaskan Magnum sling that is made of black neoprene and also features comfort stretch style backing, allowing the sling to give and reduce fatigue of the muscles. The design has non slip features that hold it in place nicely.

  1. This is a really nice website with a ton of useful info and links. However when I follow the links trying to get a feel for what an M1 or M1A I could shoot at a local range would cost me, they are all out of stock. They must sell well or they wouldn’t be out of stock so why aren’t they getting new stock in?

    Again, thanks for the great site.

    I bought one of the Quake Claw sling for my M1a based on this review. However the sling attachments do not fit my rifle. They have swivels and my M1a has steel sling loops. Someone please tell me what I’m missing here?

    I just bought a new m1a socoom. I always thought 308 win and 7.62 nato were the same. If there is a caliber marked on the barrel, I can’t find it. The manual says use 7.62 nato military. Your site shows 308 win. I am really confused after looking on the net. Could you send me the answer?

    Thanks,

    Ron

    Springfield Armory will tell you on their website that either caliber is fine for their weapon, since they are basically the same, with certain caveats regarding quality and so on…
