[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 94231, member: 1622"] Len, Only just spotted your post; by coincidence Jimm emailed me on the same subject yesterday. Here’s some of what I said: The AI sling...I'll tell you whatever I can. I've attached a pic of my AW with my version of the sling (the only pic I have to hand that shows the sling at all...but not too well)...AI biathlon clips with strapping I got from work..same overall effect but free!...the AI product is well made, but wildly over-priced...something like £40 / $60 over here (and only available in black). I would point out the butt sling attachment point -quite close to the heel of the stock which allows the rifle to hang pretty naturally; pics I've seen of McMillans seem to put their rear-side sling point nearer the stock's toe...I don't think this would allow the rifle to hang as naturally. I would think the clips are rather AI specific; they need a large ring to clip to. I also suspect that the flat-sided AW fore-end makes the thing more comfortable to wear...but I'm guessing.
