What's a sling?

 

[ConcernedCitizen]

VCAS or VTAC for me, along with a 2-to-1 Triglide.

I use a Trader Keith Safari Strap on my hunting rifles:

No pics for me either, but...

VCAS non-padded is my go-to sling. I've tried them with IWC 2-to-1 and well as the VCAS 221 and have found I really don't care for convertible slings, it just seems the additional hardware is in the way aand I like the flex of the bungee on a SP. If I have a need or desire to run a single point I'll break out my O.S.O.E. bungle single point.

As far as setup goes, for the VCAS I like the front connection point toward the muzzle end of the hang guard to half-way back on the side on the weapon and the rear far back on the stock either at 12 o'clock or opposite side as the front. This setup allows transition to opposite shoulder without hanging yourself assuming secondary weapon is same handed as the primary. For the single, just the the rear of the receiver. When the rifle weapon is slung it should naturally fall to the opposite side of the secondary weapon.

Here is my favorite :
A Montana Sling , made by Montana Slings..right here in the USA.
My is a 1 1/4 but they also make it in 1/2 inch as well.
No metal to mar your stock and easy one handed use...works well for carrying or for a "Hasty sling" in shooting,

I use a safari sling most of the time while hunting. Makes transitioning to shoot very fast.

OK. Here is one of our rifles with a leather sling:



And a Lupara, which is obviously not a rifle, but it does sport a sling:

All depends on the rifle. The elk rifle goes on long walks, so it gets a safari sling. The Garand and the 03a4 get 1917 pattern slings. The 1903 target and a few 03a3's gets a cotton Garand sling, as would a bunch of other rifles if I could find more at reasonable prices...
The only AR in the safe gets the same unpadded VTAC sling that's been on the last ten or so AR's I've owned shot, then sold.

Budget friendly sling

 

[PNWguy]

When I looked for a sling for my hiking long gun, I wanted something that was comfortable, and wouldn't slide off my shoulder when ducking under brush or bending over.

Found this and it is amazingly comfortable...

I recently added a black leather sling to the carbine I've dubbed "Space Cowboy". (I shared this picture and appellation to my elderly father and he found great humor in said.)



Silliness aside, well wishes friends.
