Rifle sling recommendation

I have a custom rifle (the one pictured in my avatar) that is slightly on the heavy side that I would like to get set up with a good comfortable sling that will distribute the weight of the rifle more evenly across both my shoulders. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are you using sling studs or qd cups?

tjmcree,

Actually, I will need both which I can easily remedy myself. On the butt end of the rifle is a stud and on the fore end is a QD cup.

I have two of these and really like them. One in standard and one with QD's.

338weatherby,

Yep...I've been considering that one. Great to hear from someone with experience with them.

I have a coretec backpack sling, goes over both shoulders, came with sling swivels, I made my own qd attach enemy for the top, like you I use both, helps the rifle with bipod lay flat across my back. Works well

As far as a backpack sling, I feel this one from TAB gear is about the best quality available -


I have used it a good bit and love it for what it is, however I only use it for hunting pronghorn with my heavy rifle, as you simply can't use a backpack with this sling. You can put a kill kit in a waist pack, but that's about it with your rifle taking up your backpack space.

On my back country rifle, it goes in my mystery ranch pack while covering ground, but for a day hunt when I don't have my pack I'll use my claw single sling by quake. It has qd flushcup mounts for going in the side of the stock opposite the bolt, this has by far become my preference. I have installed flushcups on three other rifles since. I prefer the McMillan flushcups, as they are threaded, I just drill out the spot I want it, then mix up some devcon and put it in the hole and screw it in and they cut their own threads, solid as can be.
