Viking Tactics Back Pack Sling

Product Description

The Viking Tactics Back Pack Sling is a quick-adjust rifle sling designed for rapid transitions between carry and shooting positions. This sling works well for patrol rifles, carbines, and defensive firearms where speed matters.

The design centers on ease of length adjustment under stress. Shooters can transition from cross-body carry to a firing stance without fumbling with hardware or losing control of the rifle.

Law enforcement officers, competition shooters, and defensive rifle users rely on quick-adjust slings when shooting positions change frequently. The Viking Tactics design addresses those needs.

How the Viking Tactics Bungee Sling Works

Quick-adjust slings use a pull-tab system that lets you lengthen or shorten the sling without removing it from the rifle. You pull the tab to loosen, then cinch it tight when you reach your shooting position.

This matters during transitions from vehicle to standing, or when moving between barricade positions in competition. A two-point sling keeps the rifle secure but accessible, and the quick-adjust feature means you don’t fight the strap when you need to shoulder the gun fast.

What to Pair It With

The Viking Tactics Back Pack Sling attaches to quick-detach sling mounts or standard sling loops on most AR-15 pattern rifles and similar platforms. Verify your rifle has two attachment points before ordering.

If your rifle lacks sling attachment hardware, you’ll need QD sockets or traditional loops installed. Many shooters browse our full selection of rifle slings and accessories to complete their setup.

Who This Sling Suits

Quick-adjust two-point slings work best for shooters who change positions often. That includes three-gun competitors, patrol officers, and defensive carbine students.

If you primarily shoot from a bench or a fixed prone position, a simpler carry strap may serve you better. The adjustment hardware adds weight and complexity that stationary shooters rarely use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Viking Tactics bungee sling different from a standard two-point sling?

The Viking Tactics bungee sling features a quick-adjust mechanism that allows rapid length changes without removing the sling from the rifle. Standard two-point slings often require threading webbing through tri-glides or buckles, which takes more time. The quick-adjust design suits shooters who transition frequently between carry and firing positions.

Will the Viking Tactics Back Pack Sling fit my AR-15?

The Viking Tactics Back Pack Sling works with most AR-15 rifles and carbines that have two sling attachment points, either QD sockets or traditional sling loops. Confirm your rifle has both a front and rear attachment point before ordering. Call 817-393-4000 if you need help determining compatibility with your specific setup.

Can I use this sling on rifles other than an AR-15?

Yes, the Viking Tactics Back Pack Sling works on any rifle or carbine with two standard sling mounting points. Shooters commonly use it on AKs, SCARs, and other patrol or defensive rifles. The attachment method matters more than the platform.

How do I adjust the length of the Viking Tactics sling during use?

Pull the adjustment tab to lengthen the sling, then release it and pull the webbing tight to shorten. The mechanism locks when you release the tab, holding your chosen length under load. Practice the motion a few times before relying on it in the field or in a match.

Is the Viking Tactics Back Pack Sling suitable for hunting?

The Viking Tactics Back Pack Sling works for hunting situations where you move frequently and need fast rifle access, such as hog hunting or predator control. For traditional stand hunting or long-distance shooting where the rifle stays shouldered or rested, a simpler sling may be lighter and less obtrusive.

Does Western Sport offer gunsmithing services if I need sling mounts installed?

Yes, Western Sport provides gunsmithing services on site in Roanoke, TX. Owner and gunsmith Lance Rankin can install QD sockets or other sling attachment hardware if your rifle lacks mounting points. Call 817-393-4000 to discuss your rifle and schedule the work.
