[QUOTE="mountainman56, post: 1050721, member: 79106"] I have been using a whelen sling on my hunting rifles for years.......likely cause Jack told me to 45 years ago (I bought my first 270 for the same reason). Only issue that I ever had was insubstantial stocks that couldn't stand the side strain without bending into the barrel. Don't know if it ever touched the barrel hard enough to make any difference (likely not when shooting offhand at 300 or less) but it bothered me. They can put a lot of strain on the front sling mount but I've never had one fail. In fact I am just in the process of rigging up a lightweight model 70 in 7x57 with a new old stock Weaver K2.5 and a whelen sling for hunting hogs at close range in the mesquite. Will be using the sling for the occasional longer shot. [/QUOTE]
