Can somebody please recommend a good rifle sling that would allow for the rifle to be carried across the back rather than on the shoulder? I am thinking I would prefer to have both my hands free when hiking on difficult terrain,Thanks. DRSS | ||

I will look tonight. I have one but have never used one that a buddy gave me. I have a few friends who swear by these rubber slings. I just hate to ever have a sling on my rifle so I never use them. I always see the guy at the dallas and SCI shows. it is a stable and neat product if you like slings. Ugly but they work. Mac | |||

Bal In canvas web type I use the ones sold by Trader Keith. For leather I like Dick Murray's slings. Having said that, I never use the sling on my double. And yes I do wear the bluing off the barrels, but we always seem to be in thick places. | |||

My son has one that came as a part of a backpack kit he bought. I will ask him about the brand and where he bought it. NRA Life Benefactor Member, DRSS, DWWC, Whittington Center,Android Reloading Ballistics App at http://www.xplat.net/ | |||

The Wyoming Split Sling may be what you are looking for. Don't know if they are still made or not but you can wear the rifle in the center of your back, the sling splits to go over both shoulders. | |||

look here Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Jason, The Wyoming Split sling looks just about like that. Same idea but made in leather. | |||

Contact Andy langois of andy's leather and tell him what you want. If doesn't already catalog one, he can make it for you. I use his leather slings and trader kieth's canvas. | |||

It might be worth looking at the Ching Sling invented by the late Eric Ching for Jeff Cooper. http://www.brownells.com/items/ching-sling.aspx Norman Solberg International lawyer back in the US after 25 years and, having met a few of the bad guys and governments here and around the world, now focusing on private trusts that protect wealth from them.

I've been using the Vero Vellini sling and really like it here in the mountains. Have also used the Trader Keith's canvas sling with the rubber underneath just for double rifle fun. .395 Family Member DRSS, po' boy member Political correctness is nothing but liberal enforced censorship | |||

I have one on my duck gun. 10+ years old I'm guessing and still looks new (after you wash the dried mud and duckweed off of it.) Hunting: Exercising dominion over creation at 2800 fps. | |||

Get a Murray leather sling -- buy the long one, not the standard. It will meet and exceed your needs. | |||

I recommend "Butler Creek". A fantastic rifle sling. Once you use one, you will never use any other sling. | |||

hell, any sling if it is long enough allows you to sling it over your opposite shoulder and carry the rifle hands free. Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… To quote a former AND CURRENT Trumpiteer - DUMP TRUMP | |||

People say I'm 'strange' in a lot of ways. But, after seeing a bull elk thru the scrub and starting to sneak up to get a shot and catching that damned sling on a snag dumping my ass I'll never have another sling on any rifle. Don't even have the attachments except to use a bipod on the forearm. To each his own though as they say. George "Gun Control is NOT about Guns' "It's about Control!!" Join the NRA today!"

I've said they're this long because of carrying my heavier rifles by hand until my knuckles drag on the ground, then change hands. George "Gun Control is NOT about Guns' "It's about Control!!"

I like the Westley Richards sling. You set it to the length you like and tie it. It's always exactly right and never slips. | |||
