[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 482275, member: 15748"] Pyroducksx3, Depends on the gun and it's swivel placement. I need a 54" for my AR Serviced Rifles, but used a 50" or 52" for the M14/M1A. I'd say go with the 52" and you'll probably be okay. The biothane are more durable that the leather, and they [U]don't[/U] stretch. They also tend to be pretty "grabby", making them difficult to get in and out of quickly, as the keepers won't slide like the leather will. May be a problem or an asset, depending on your view. I've used both, but have gone back to the leather for now. They both work, but you'll replace leather more frequently. Incidentally, the Turners are first rate, as are the Tamm slings. Brownell's offers what they call a "Competitor" sling (straight M1907 pattern) that's a good bit cheaper, and still a fairly decent sling. Quick question for you; have you ever used an M1907 sling before, and do you know how? That's usually a full block of instruction for new shooters who've never used them before. Great tools, but they take some work to get accustomed to. To make proper use of it, you'll likely also need a heavy glove or shooting mit. Come out to a Service Rifle match some time, and you can get a crash course in using them. [/QUOTE]
