Lightweight, Minimalist Design That Won’t Get in Your Way
The Warden Universal Sling is intentionally slim and streamlined. Instead of wide, bulky padding that fights for space with your backpack straps, Browning gives you a narrow nylon strap topped with a low-profile rubber shoulder pad that hugs the webbing. That means your sling stays put, your pack rides where it should, and your shoulder isn’t crowded with gear. Rural King+2Cabela's+2
Minimalist profile reduces snagging and clutter
Nylon web construction is tough, abrasion-resistant, and long-lasting
Overmolded rubber pad helps prevent slipping and chafing during long walks
Whether you’re hiking into a backcountry blind, climbing into a stand, or crossing uneven ground, the Warden sling supports your firearm without bouncing or sliding around. Browning+2Florida Gun Exchange+2
Universal Fit for Most Rifles and Shotguns
As the name implies, the Browning Warden Universal Sling is built to work with a wide variety of long guns. It’s an excellent choice if you switch between a bolt-action rifle, semi-auto, lever gun, or pump shotgun and want one sling that can handle it all.
Fits most rifles and shotguns thanks to an adjustable length and included swivels Gunbuyer+2Browning+2
Ideal for hunting rifles, turkey shotguns, slug guns, and general-purpose long guns
Works with many factory sling swivel studs and modern QD sockets

Adjustable Length for Custom Comfort
One of the biggest advantages of the Warden sling is its wide adjustment range, letting you fine-tune the fit to your body type, clothing layers, and carry style.
Whether you like your rifle high and tight across the chest or riding a little lower at your side, the Warden Universal Sling gives you the adjustment you need in seconds.
Non-Slip Rubber Shoulder Pad for All-Day Carry
The standout feature of the Browning Warden sling is its overmolded rubber shoulder pad. Instead of traditional foam or fabric, this pad is made to grip your clothing and stay put, even when you’re wearing slick jackets or carrying a backpack. Rural King+2Browning+2
Key benefits of the rubber pad:
Non-slip surface helps keep the sling from sliding off your shoulder on steep climbs
Soft, cushioned feel distributes the weight of your rifle or shotgun for longer comfort
Narrow profile works smoothly alongside backpack straps without folding, bunching, or digging in
For hunters, hikers, and shooters who spend hours on their feet, that extra grip and comfort can make a big difference by the end of the day. The Civil War+1
Durable Nylon/Rubber Construction Built for the Field
This sling is designed to be used, not just admired. Browning pairs heavy-duty nylon webbing with resilient rubber and metal hardware to deliver a sling that can handle rough terrain, changing weather, and frequent trips in and out of the safe.
