I got a couple of them in a box of some random shooting stuff at an estate sale this weekend, the guy's kids didn't know what they were for. They look like maybe highpower competition slings? I'm guessing they're about 60", and are pretty thick leather. and have two buckles. Any ideas what they are for, approximate value? They look brand new.

Looks like a belt for a really fat person.

Really really fat dudes belt, from K-Mart, circa 1985,
Bet you can still smell the pathetic failure and sickly oily sweat all over that hot mess of a belt. |

Safety buckle for the fatty belt in-case the primary fails dramatically, that secondary keeps everyone safe... cause that primary belt buckle would be accelerated to 87 feet per second squared when the lipids inevitably win against the fight to contain the girth. |

I shot smallbore competitions when I was 13, and it kinda looks like the slings we used, but I can't really remember. |

What about the letters/numbers stamped on it in the first pic?

Only thing I can think of is that it may be the manufacturers spin on one of the M1 Garand/1903 style slings.

Its a ONE-PIECE sling that has similar attributes to the M1907 slings, but with buckles instead of frogs.
You'd adjust the longest section first to form a loop for the left arm & the forward swivel, then adjust whats left to fit through the rear swivel OR Do the first adjustment to get the length right then use the slack to fasten around your arm The buckles are on opposite sides for a reason |

OP you were spot on, it's a vintage Creedmore type competition rifle sling. Given the shape that one is in you could clear $60-$70 on Ebay easy.
Take that fat man belt bandwagon guys. |
