I have sorta started the transition to M1907 slings..
Looks you dispatched that pink varmint lying face down on the carpet just in time - close call
I ordered the Competitor Plus (1-1/4 inch wide - Brownells reproduction of the original 1907 Military Sling) with QR swivels because I�m already missing the originals and the PO had put what looks like Uncle Mike�s posts on the stock. I guess most pre64 M70 swivels were 1 inch, which could be an issue with this sling? I like the blue steel frogs/hooks on the Brownells, I�ll put a picture up when it comes in. Wayne van Zwoll/others have always said good things about Brownells Latigo and I think it comes in 1-inch width.
There�s a current a little book called �MASTERING THE SHOOTING POSITIONS and Leather Sling by M/Sgt. JIM OWENS that seems to be a knowledgeable read on the 1907 sling. I picked it up on iBooks (might be on Amazon too).
Those Rugers make me miss my big .375 H&H M77 RSM MARK II sold a few years back. And now Ruger doesn�t make those guns anymore.
