The Butler Creek Cobra Leather Basketweave Sling (Model: 26412) is a traditional firearm carry strap engineered for hunting rifles and shotguns. Constructed from tanned top-grain cowhide leather with perimeter stitching and an embossed basketweave pattern, it features a flared "Cobra" profile that widens across the upper shoulder to distribute weight. The underside is lined with soft brushed suede to create friction and prevent slipping during movement in the field. Solid brass hardware and Chicago screw studs provide secure adjustment and attachment to standard 1-inch swivel hardware.

Who is the Butler Creek Cobra Leather Basketweave Sling for?

• Hunters carrying traditional timber-stocked hunting rifles — requires a 1-inch (25.4 mm) strap width to mount directly to standard swivel studs while offering up to 36 inches (914 mm) of adjustable length to comfortably shoulder traditional sporting arms in the field.
• Pest controllers and recreational shooters — benefits from a leather rifle sling combining a 1-inch (25.4 mm) attachment profile with a flared upper contour and non-slip suede lining that prevents firearms weighing 3–5 kg from shifting during active stalks.

Less suitable for: Firearms configured with 1.25-inch tactical swivels, flush QD sockets, direct M-LOK mounts, or heavy precision chassis rifles requiring multi-point dynamic tactical carry; these configurations are better served by a padded synthetic two-point tactical sling or a high-stretch neoprene sling.
