I am wondering about the best method to keep sling studs timed in a synthetic stock. Wood stocks seem to have enough give that you can usually screw the stud in, and turn it to the correct position and the bit of crush will keep it in place. With synthetic stocks it seems that you don’t have the same leeway. Once it is tight, you can’t turn it to the desired position. So I’m wondering if you guys use locktight, epoxy or some other method to keep them in place.

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."

But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | ||

That'll work. Another method is to grind a scallop on the stud head, then locate and install a lock screw to engage it. Damn sure won't turn then.

I've switched all my stuff over to these:  From here: https://grovtec.com/products/h...stainless-steel-base I really like not having the stud sticking out when I don't have the sling on. | |||

Ive had a couple guns brought in over the years where the stud unscrewed completely letting the rifle fall off the shooters shoulder. In one case the rifle fell 15 ft from a steel ladder stand and the Swarovski scope impacted a foot tread, heavily denting the objective bell. Interestingly enough the scope was still sighted in and functioned normally. Sent it back to Swarovski and they re-built it for free.

I have had a couple studs come loose of the years I use loctite or epoxy on the treads. | |||
