While y'all are on the subject of CZ 550's...

How should I go about finding barrel-band sling mount(s) for the forward QD / Uncle Mike's type I see in use on safari videos?

The CZ 550 Safari Magnum I have in .416 Rigby feels okay with the stock-mounted sling swivel, but my ZKK 602 .375 has that awkward feel (shoulder pinch) to it.

Thx,

On my CZ 550 I am using one of the Uncle Mikes Split rings, and I believe it is for a 20ga. shotgun barrel. I could not get a sweat on because of the banded front sight so I had one of the split kind and it works perfectly. I cannot remember the exact diameter but seems like it was for a 20ga.

I tried a split ring on my .450 Rigby and the recoil loosened it up within 10 rounds. Finally, my smith got a solid ring and sliver-soldered (or something) it on. I'm not sure where it came from, Brownell's, probably. No troubles since.
