I have and like Montana's, I like good old 1907 slings, but my favorite has become this canvas and leather sling from Trader Keith's made by Galco. Locks up tight in the Hasty position, comfortable to carry. ![[Linked Image]](http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm66/southwind_hunter/1st%20roe_zpsuox11fdd.jpg)

Latigo 95% of the time. Uncle Mikes Mountain Sling only if I'm certain I won't be slinging up and want to save some weight.
Too close for irons, switching to scope...

For rifles that lack sling swivels, this one. Home made, patterned after one I saw on a Kentucky style muzzle loader. ![[Linked Image]](http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv155/carbonbucket/IMG_1545_zpsf776ec70.jpg)

For all those complaining about slippery nylon slings (and rightly so), smear a couple of flat lines a foot or so long of RTV silicone seal into the side that contacts your shoulder. Once it dries it will provide just the right amount of traction without hindering the use of the sling for shooting.
The result is a light, strong sling that won't stretch when wet. I used Shoe Goo on GI nylon slings, they're light, quiet, and cheap. Nothing much to look at, but they're sure helpful when you have to drag a deer very far.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

I bought a couple of the Specialty Outdoor Products slings a couple of years ago when he had a booth at the Sacramento Sportsmans show. One went on my varmint rifle which weighs about 9 1/2 lbs that I carry everyday on my hikes and the other went on a lighter hunting rifle. They don't EVER slip and have just enough give to be comfortable while not being bouncy. Also putting it over both shoulders allows both hands to be used if you need to climb or when riding the ATV. Plus they are wide enough to be comfortable without being bulky. I've tried a lot of others and still own them but like these best. +3 on the Specialty Outdoors "Ultimate rifle Sling." The best part is they do not slip off your shoulder. I have them on 5 different guns and may never buy anything else. Also like the fact that it's a small business based in Michigan and you get a hand-written thank you with each order. Small detail, but, nice.
