I bought a Remington 700 with a sling included, I know that there are slings that are designed for holding your pants up and your hat on while you shoot upside down.
I have only ever had very basic slings on my rifles and shotguns so I would like to ask about this one. My camera and lighting stink so my pics aren't very good and neither are my drawings done with a mouse. This sling is aprox four feet long and had quick connectors on the ends, it is looped back thru a slider in the center and the actual ends of the sling strap are looped into the center slider and fixed with two Chicago screws on each side. It also has a band made of the sling material as if to put a loose tail thru that is between the screws on one side. Can anyone tell me why someone would go thru all the trouble of making up a sling in this configuration other than to make me ask questions? After all, it is non adjustable with the ends screwed together. Like I said, the pics stink but hope you get the idea.  " />

The sling in your drawing appears like it can only adjust the position of the buckle.
The photograph looks like one side has a sliding loop that works like an Uncle Mike's "sling" I have. Once you figure out where to pull, it adjusts in length. On the Uncle Mikes version the webbing is very slick and it loosens up too easily, making it basically worthless. This is not a sling it is a carry strap. Take it off and put it on the fudd gun you loan to relatives when they want to go hunting with you. A proper sling for precision rifle shooting should allow you to make a loop that you put around your upper arm to take the load off your biceps muscle when you cannot find anything else but your forearm and elbow to support the rifle. Other nice features of a good sling for precision rifle is that you can adjust it for carrying a heavy rifle without the worry that it will come loose. |
