Allen 27811 Vertex Sling Gray 20.60" Oal

The Allen Vertex Sling in gray is a no-nonsense rifle sling built for hunters and shooters who need reliable carry and shooting support in the field. With a 20.60" overall length and adjustable range, this sling adapts to your carry style—whether you're moving through timber, glassing from a ridge, or settling in for a longer shooting session. The two-layer construction pairs durability with comfort, and the BAKTRAK backing keeps the sling stable on your shoulder so it stays put when you need it to.

Allen engineered the Vertex with 1.25" webbing that resists wear from brush, gear, and extended use. The included swivels handle the real-world demands of a working rifle; they're tested to 500 lbs., so you're not fighting hardware when you're moving fast or managing a heavy gun across rough country. The slip-resistant backing is a practical touch—your sling won't creep and twist when you're wearing a jacket or pack, which matters when seconds count.

Adjustment is straightforward. The sling extends from 22 to 39 inches, giving you flexibility to wear it as a tight tactical carry, a loose hunting sling, or anything in between. If you run your rifle hard or simply want a sling that handles varied terrain and conditions without complaint, the Vertex delivers the balance of toughness and practicality that works in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

What length sling do I need for hunting?

The Vertex adjusts from 22 to 39 inches, covering most rifle carry preferences. A 22-inch setup works for tactical or tight carry over body armor or packs; 30–35 inches is typical for hunting wear over a jacket; 39 inches allows loose, cross-body sling carry. Start at your expected range and adjust as you go.

Is the BAKTRAK backing really better than standard webbing?

Yes. The slip-resistant backing grips your shoulder and jacket fabric so the sling doesn't twist or creep sideways when you move or mount your rifle. Standard webbing can slide around, which throws off your sight picture and gets annoying in the field.

Can I use this sling on any rifle?

The Vertex uses standard swivels, so it works with any rifle equipped with sling studs or mounts. If your rifle doesn't have attachment points, you'll need to add them separately.

What does "swivels tested to 500 lbs." mean for me?

It means the swivel connection is rock-solid. A 500 lb. rating is well beyond the weight of any rifle you'll carry, so you won't experience hardware failure or creep under real-world hunting or shooting conditions.
