Giles? Error on my part! Single point it is (I told you this was new stuff for me!).

MadMex...how much did you pay for the original stock 7615P? And from where?

Are you going to get that thing zeroed tomorrow so you can use it in the 3 gun match at the El Dorado club sunday?

It was ordered / purchased (original configuration) in Sacramento 1Q of this year for $749 (had to wait around 8 to 10 weeks for shipment). I recently saw one on the rack for sale ($800).

Folks,

I've used a single point sling before (actually the exact one in the photos above taken from The Wilderness site) and man, while it appears cool at first, you learn very quickly that moving around and going about your business with this sling is not easy.

First, the longarm tends to bang around and hit your knees. Look at the guy in the picture above, the receiver of the rifle will hit his crotch area all day long while his knees will hit the barrel as he moves around to conduct checkpoints, move MRE's, pump water out of homes, etc.

Second, if he needed to bend over to pick up something, the barrel goes straight into the dirt. Not good if you don't want to accidentally create an obstructed bore with dirt, sand, mud, etc.

I would suggest that you look at a 3 point sling that can carry the longarm horizontally - I would think this arrangement would be a little better.

Just my $.02!

Sorry, I don't. I do have a friend who uses a 3 pointer, perhaps I can ask him to demo it while I video it.

BTW What are your options for installing sling swivels? Particularly a front swivel? Is the end of the forend guide rod drilled and tapped for swivel like the one above?
