My rifles have the 1" wide Nylon Uncle Mike's camo or black slings sewn on for no buckle rattle. Mine are long enough to go over my head and right shoulder for when I climb trees. I missed getting a shot at a big buck once because my rifle was slung over my shoulder and from that day on I said to myself that if I was too tired to carry my rifle in my hand, I was too tired to be out hunting. I'll only sling when I don't plan on using the rifle. My buddy dropped his 6.5x55 out of a tree that he was climbing into when the sling pulled through a buckle. My shots here have been so close that wrapping into a sling for stability has never been necessary.
