Sling help

[9mm1911]

Any decent sling recommendations?
Specifically, want something to put on my Remington 700 for hunting.

I like to wrap up in the sling to help my off hand shooting. So I'm not a big fan of the Butler Creek quick adjust sling I just picked up from Cabelas.

The big shoulder pad gets in the way, and doesn't really feel all that comfortable anyhow.

Thanks.

I favor the Accuracy International slings.

If you have quick detach swivels, just put it in place of the clip. Then you can use sling either way.

I really like using a magpul ms3 sling. Single and double point. Liked it so much bought a second one.

M1/M14 USGI is what I used in my old hunting rifles growing up. Nothing fancy, but lasted years. I still have one on my last 30-06.

I was going to suggest safari sling is great for hunting. but if you like to wrap up the sling, that wont work.

On my serious hunting guns, I just use the 1" military style sling. I actually like them without the wide shoulder pad because they dig into the clothes a little better and don't slide off my shoulder and they're easy to wrap up in.

Andy's Leather is also a great source of nice slings. He manufactures Ching slings and Rhodesian slings, and a variety of other leather goods. I'm have one of his Rhodesian slings, and I think it's a good balance of a simple carry sling, and one which can be used to sling up for off-hand shooting.

This is the type swivel I use on my hunting rifles that have swivel stud. http://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Connec...=sling+swivels

I've purchased a couple of really cool slings off Ebay. A couple of them have been 1 1/4" leather made by the Amish in Ohio.

Highly recommended.

I saw this and I thought "damn I didn't get here in time to recommend a GI sling, poor OP" then I saw the link. Good job, the GI web sling is a true jack of all trades, and master of some. It is configurable in a number of ways, cheap, simple and robust. I've got one for every rifle, some rifles take match slings later but the GI sling always works.

Slinging-Up in the off-hand is a bit controversial. Getting hits has never been controversial. If it works for you go for it.

If you sling-up in the off-hand you rule out jump shooting until you untangle yourself and by then Bambi or Mr. Porkchop is usually long gone.

I have one of these. It stretchs which helps me with off hand shots. Grips clothes well. But its a ***** to adjust. http://www.specialtyoutdoorproducts.com/
