An awesome Fire member sent me one of these, Vero Vellini Slings, and I love it. It's light weight, makes the rifle weight seem like it is not even there and doesn't slip off your shoulder, perfect when you need both hands while climbing.

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 hate stretchy slings, padded slings, and leather slings which slide on the shoulder.
The reason I like the Mountain Sling is it's simple, small (1.25"), light(3.5 oz), stiff, and has a grippy patch sewn on so it doesn't slide on the shoulder, but is still usable for a "tight sling" while shooting.
But everyone sees this subject differently... obviously.

Slogan Outdoors sling. The one you see on TV. Lifetime warranty. I use them and absolutely love them.

May not be of interest to you but I have been using the Chinese made "tourbon" slings, they appear to be a knock-off of the Westerly Richards cotton canvas sling and are very comfortable to use. Two inch wide, light, easy to handle, and are terrific in the heat. I have stopped using leather slings and have gone to these. Also helps that they are cheap to purchase. Ebay listing.Of course if you would prefer to pay Westerly Richards then here is their version. Westerly Richards sling.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
