Padded B.L.I.P. (Budget Low in Profile) Rifle Sling
The cost-effective simplicity of the BLIP, now with a softer side.
Meet the Padded B.L.I.P. Sling — the upgraded version of our Budget Low-In-Profile Sling. The original BLIP focused on being clean, simple, and cost-effective. No bungee. No over-engineered gimmicks. Just a reliable sling designed to stay out of your way and let you get to work.
This refined version keeps the same no-nonsense DNA but introduces a key comfort upgrade: a padded Neoprene insert designed to support you through the hard times.
Still low-profile. Still budget-conscious. Now with a smoother, more comfortable carry for long days on the range, long patrols, and long hours handling your rifle.
If you want the simplicity of the original BLIP with a little more love for your shoulder—this is your sling.
Note: The adjustment pull-tab doubles as a Sling Stash - a discreet Velcro pouch designed to hold foam ear plugs or other smaller items on the range that are easy to lose track of. We'll throw in a free pair of foamies with each sling so you can always have backup earpro for those days you forget your over-ears.
Why the Padded BLIP:
• Budget-Friendly — Built for shooters who don’t want to empty their wallets on a rifle sling but still want added comfort on the range or in the field.
• Comfort Carry — Neoprene padded insert provides long-lasting, moisture-resistant cushioning.

• Low Profile — Streamlined design stays out of your way. No bouncing (for the bungee haters), no snagging, no drama.
• Sling Stash Included — A discreet Velcro pocket tucked into the adjustment pull-tab. Ear plugs? Spare batteries? Tactical Skittles? Hide them in there.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the purpose of a sling on a rifle?
The primary purpose of a sling on a rifle is to provide additional stability by making the interface between the shooter and the rifle more rigid. Because the sling helps to hold the rifle for you, less muscle and effort is required to support the rifle. This will ultimately improve marksmanship, especially over the course of longer engagements.
- What are the benefits of a rifle sling?
A rifle sling allows the user much easier manipulation of the weapon while significantly reducing fatigue from weapon support and movement. It also helps stabilize the rifle when presenting to allow for more accurate shots on target and minimal weapon shake.
- Is a rifle sling necessary?
Yes, a rifle sling is necessary. You will not find a professional operator that does not have a support sling on their rifle as it allows them the opportunity to free up their hands for other needs, while also giving them the ability to carry the rifle over long distances with a fraction of the effort and energy.
- Is a 1 or 2 point sling better?
Most firearms are designed to better accommodate a two point sling as opposed to a one point sling. Having a secondary attachment point will generally grant the user more stability.
- Does the military use rifle slings?
Yes, every branch of the military uses slings on their rifle.
- What is the best width for a rifle sling?
A rifle sling that is around 1 1/4-inch to 1 1/2-inch wide will provide the proper amount of stability while still maintaining a low profile and easily interfacing with any kit you may have on.
- Does a rifle sling help with accuracy?
Yes, a rifle sling helps improve shooting accuracy by providing additional stability to the user and reducing fatigue and shake that may result from holding the rifle for extended periods of time without a sling attached. The rifle sling does the support work for you so you can focus on maintaining a clear sight alignment and sight picture.
