I was going to spend $200.00 for a Levergun Leather sling but I found this New Old Stock sling for $18.00 out the door. It was made by a company called Rocky Mountain. It was dirty from years of storage but it cleaned up nice. ![[Linked Image]](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Woodsman1956/Marlin/100_3713.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Woodsman1956/Marlin/100_3712.jpg)

Looks nice and well made. Make sure the lower strap isn't dried out if it has been laying around for awhile.

The leather seems strong, and I conditioned it. I don't notice the smell but I only hunt into the wind so it's a non-issue for me. The scope is a 2-7X32 Nikon Prostaff.

I must admit to using one when culling piggies. Sometimes you would catch a herd in open ground. Ya' needed to be able to grab an extra boolit or two on a few occasions.

I think a belt-fed weapon would be best for piggies....

Last year I met up with a guy at one of our leases in the early pre-dawn hours to go sit in our treestands. He loaded his magazine on his 700, then filled his Buddy, and then put the rest of the box in his pack! I asked, "how long are you staying out"? He replied,"til noon". I said,"Do you think you will need 20 rounds"? He said, "you never know".....

I was talking to a Remington Rep a few years ago who carried a minimum of a box of ammo when he hunted... I asked him how many tags he had.... " One".... Then the razzing started...and yeah, he had a Bubba Buddy...

Where I hunt it's worth being ready to spend several days in the woods. I'm always prepared to do just that. http://www.levergunleather.com/
