Suggestion for double rifle sling?
Does anyone have a suggestion for a leather sling for a double with integral swivels such that it can be easily and quickly removed?

It's not leather but you might want to check this out at New England Custom Gun.

2" wide classic safari sling. The rugged webbing has two rows of silicone rubber strands to prevent slipping. The leather fasteners take a one inch swivel and are secured by a bridle hook and keeper for silence.

Code: A-120

Price: $49.00



If you've got a Europen gun, check the width of the swivels. I found the swivels on my Merkel would not take a 1 inch sling. But New England Custom Gun also has "Quick-Detachable Swivels for European Studs". I got a set so I could use a standard 1 inch width sling on my Merkel. The swivels fit the studs on my Merkel perfectly.



Westley Richards also has some nice slings. (I read another thread on here about some shipping charge problems from W/R. You might want to find that thread and read it.) They have a canvas sling that is very nice. About a year ago, I bought one for a friend of mine for her custom Ruger No. 1 in .375 H&H. She loves it.

They also have a couple of nice leather slings.
