Sling for Savage Model 64?

[Nemo]

I don't know much about rifle shooting, so I signed up for the June Chabot Appleseed shoot and bought a starter .22--a Savage 64 semiauto.

Trouble is, there are no sling mounts on the stock, but the Appleseed shoot requires one. I have a webbing/velcro sling mount for the rear of the stock, but nothing for the front. I could try drilling the stock for a front swivel stud, but would rather avoid it. Are there slings available that loop over the barrel or use some other arrangement? Perhaps someone makes a barrel clamp with a ring? Ideas appreciated.

I have used a cheap $5 nylon slip over buttstock/ slip over barrel sling before just to get by. They are on Ebay. Not a permanent solution but would get you to Appleseed where you can see everyone else's setup.

That's what I'll try to start with until I can talk to others about what works for them, then.
