VSS Services – Tactical Backpack/Biathlon Rifle Sling

image1

Custom made for VSS Services by Mayflower Consulting and Velocity Systems, the Tactical Backpack/Biathlon Rifle Sling is a European sling design used to more easily carry rifles during mountain operations. The sling functions well with heavier DMR-type rifles, allowing for a free hand for climbing or dragging a deer. It also features QD buckles for quickly transitioning from a carrying to a ready position.

Available in Multicam, Kryptek Yeti (winter), and Kryptek Highlander (Brown).

    I would like to see how that can be used with a ruck. Could it be used with a ruck? In the pictures on their site it is shown being used bareback. With no ruck it looks like it would be great. With a ruck, I don’t know.

      I’ve been on skis with a rifle & a ruck with a Kifaru Gunbearer. It took adjustment to deal with the stride on skis especially climbing hills, but once adjusted, very secure and *very* quick to hand. Faster than the Eberlestock I had. No experience with the Mystery Ranch.

      With this sling, I’d say possible for use with a ruck if it didn’t stick out much and was pretty slick and narrow. Possible, not ideal.

    Perhaps a better solution for you, outlined a few weeks ago:

    I love the biathlon, and I love the slings, however they never sold well for us (we sold the VTac version). I hope these guys have better luck, design is solid and you can’t bear the manufacturer for quality.
