I wish I had an answer for you. Your question reminded me of when I was a young lad. On a windy snowy day I shot a nice buck about two miles back in the Adirondacks near Newton Falls. The combination of dragging that buck and carrying my new 32Special Model 64 was too much for me. I had a piece of clothes line rope in my pocket and tied it tightly around the barrel and around the stock making a sling. That "sling" served me for about 4 years.
May I suggest you upgrade a step or two above my "clothes line sling."

Grace and Blessings
Jim

BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN HIS MIGHTY POWER. ~ Ephesians 6:10

Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

I have a similar sling that uses Velcro for the butt instead of leather and a regular swivel in front. You can get a 2pc front swivel attached to the tube.
