Give me a synthetic sling over leather any day on a hunting rifle. I like the "Mountain Sling" which is now made by Blackhawk, which in the past has been Uncle Mike's and a Butler Creek Product.
These Synthetic sling are cheap (less than $20.00 including swivels), strong, lightweight, and will not rot/mildew/mold. Save the expensive leather slings for the safe queens.

I too like the Brownells and was looking for a light weight equivalent the Rifle-Craft might fit the bill. Thanks. For just a carry strap I like the Vero Vellini ones. The leather model for heavier rifles as it is less bouncy than the Neoprene only ones. Their Binocular strap really does reduce the perceived weight of the Binos.

Levy's makes some superb slings. They are made in Canada. Finest I have found for staying on your shoulder.
Vero Vellini makes some nice slings, but show a lot of wear after a few seasons.
For leather, the old Bianchi Cobras and the sling provided by Remington with their 700's work well and last forever.
Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years.
It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone.....
Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.

I’ve got at least a few dozen of these and have never had any issues with them... I’ll send you one to try out and see if you like it before you buy one of you want...

Stab them in the taint, you can't put a tourniquet on that.

Hell yes, hang your Montana on a Sling Thing from Ted and you will find and kill the good stuff. We have some truly talented people on here and they deserve our support. Subscibe to Large James' You Tube Channel for a look into a different world.

Most practical sling I've used. I've put them on all my hunting rifles.

Another Montana Sling user here. Have three, will be buying more.
Haven't been around that long, is Pat a member? Scenar Shooter maybe?
Edit: Nevermind, just looked. Had no idea, but very cool!
