I would have never guessed this, but when I google it, up comes, "how to camouflage a scope"

Possibly to avoid brass rash??

I think that may be a bore-snake type tool wrapped around the scope just to keep it with the rifle.

I could be wrong too, and then we'll both learn something.

That's not rope..... it's 3/4 mile of steel cable and a choker.... it attaches to a winch in the stock.... f'n UBER....
Place to stick local area vegetation maybe?????

Usually guys will secure bikini scope covers using a little bit of paracord like that, but since there seems to be no scope covers there.... I really do not know.

Is that Montana sling on the GAP rifle on upside down or is that the way they're generally strapped on?

I can tell by your sig line you are not an idiot.

For shooting with a sling it works best slung as shown. If you are just using it as a carry strap it doesn't really matter.

Personal preference....I run mine the other way. There's no wrong way.

As far as the rope on the scope, that's an inside joke...I'll never tell!

This is how you use the Montana Sling to keep fleas away from you.

Chuck did teach you something. I got the crab medication out before I leaned. Never saw a sling like that. Did you make it?

scenar made it. Just for me.

Shrapnel just found me another one and it didn't cost me a dime because I forgot to pay him before I left Bozeman.

scenar also made my belt. It's uber.

I use Montana Slings and belts. I just learned another use for the sling, thanks Travis.

Is Scenar Shooter associated w/ Montana Slings? If so thanks for the great stuff. Everyone I have talked to there is the best.

He owns the company IIRC.

I was just lamenting to a hunting bud last weekend that my sling would be perfect if it were a little bit longer. I just saw on his website that Pat now offers a long version of the sling! I'll have to make an order before next fall!

Downstream will be ordering another in that case I'm sure.. His only complaint to me about Montana slings is they're too short to go around his chest.

Not too bad Pat... but I think you might have pulled that one on the right!

I don't carry that way, but mine has worn enough to slowly slip a bit when my gun is slung. A few more inches of leather would put the knot right about where I like to hold the sling when its on my shoulder, thus stopping the slip.
