Alteration of the sling studs and swivels is not the answer. Hurts the value and ruins the rifle, IMHO.
There are good standard leather 1 in slings available-military style-that with keeper adjustment that help a solid shooting position while hunting.
None of my model 70 pre-war rifles would be subject to those alterations or the sub-standard slings.
