I use a Ching Sling also, but mine is made by Galco. I use Uncle Mike's swivels.

I have three various scouts, including two Rugers, which are utilizing Andy's Leather Ching Sling. They are three-point slings, from thick quality leather, and it came with the extra swivel stud needed to make a proper 3 point sling. It can also be ordered with a matching ammo cuff for the stock. You can order directly from Andy's Leather or you can order them from Brownell's.
If you peak at Ruger's factory website there are videos about the development of the Ruger GSR, which also includes a brief excerpt explaining Ching sling usage. -PC- |

What's the advantage of a Ching sling over the USGI sling?

A GI sling can also be used to steady the rifle by a knowledgeable user, but the Ching Sling takes it a step further. If used properly, it really locks down the rifle, and creates a stable shooting platform. Not saying a GI sling cannot be used in this manner, just saying the Ching takes it a bit further, and is more stable. For those who do not wish to install a third stud, the Safari Ching Sling supposedly is quite stable as well, though I have no experience with Safari models. The Steyr Scout, which is Col Coopers originally approved rendition of the concept, features sling attachment points for the 3-point Ching. It is not for everybody, but many who use them, swear by them. -PC- |

It isn't as stable as the 3-point Ching but it is still very steady. I posted a crappy picture of the setup earlier in this thread, but I can certainly take better pics this weekend if anyone wants them. My safari Ching is made by Galco, and the quality is top notch. |
