Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Slings for a barrel band rifle?

If you don't mind leather, give the Brownells Latigo Quick-Set Sling a look. They come black or tan, 1" or 1 1/4", with or without swivels. Out the package they are full length with numbered holes, you take a measurement between swivel loops and use these numbered holes as a guide to custom fit the sling to the particular rifle. You then cut off any excess strap. I've used a couple on the old Ruger Safari Magnum Rifles, a 98 Mauser, and now on a Sako, all having barrel band swivel mounts.

They are made from high quality leather, so they are by no means light. But they are indestructable, are round peg into round hole user friendly, and have no hard contact points to touch the stock, so they are very friendly to high end wood.
