I only use Brownells Latigo slings now...... If you ever use one you will be hooked. +1

If you like a 1907 style but want a bit more durability and easier adjustments I have one called the Slip Cuff. Front end is made like a 1907 but has metal sliders instead of hooks. Easier and quicker to adjust. Made in USA http://www.tacticalintervention.com/slipcuffslingmodeltwo.html

Simple, light and quick. Tough to beat leather.

I use a 1" leather military sling on all my rifles and an uncle mikes synthetic on my duck guns.

Have you tried a wider material? 1" will cut into shoulder fairly bad. 1.25" is easier to carry for long distances than 1" wide and 1.5" seems about perfect for carry of rifles very far.
Having carried heavy rifles long distances for decades I settled on the 1.45" wide nylon. Does not cut into shoulder or wrist when carrying or shooting slung up.

Uncle Mikes Mountain Sling... been using them for sixteen years and can't find a reason to use anything else. Light (3.5 oz's), Inexpensive, Strong, Simple, Non-Slip, Non-Stretch, truly embodies the KISS principle.
My favorite as well.

I use the 1907 leather mil spec sling made by Mr. Les Tam in Hawaii...I have 3 of them and they are the best I have ever seen.

[quote=MichiganScott]I currently prefer the Montana gunsling and carry over the left shoulder (right hand shooter). Muzzle up or muzzle down depends on terrain. I see no reason to add the additional weight of padding or the Cobra style. http://www.montanagunslings.com/I love this sling. LOVE. Offhand I wrap up tight so easy, so quick.
