The best money I've ever spent on slings (and I've tried dozens) is the Butler Creek comfort V grip sling.

This is the best sling design I've seen for someone packing a heavy rifle in the field that doesn't want to carry a pack along as well.

The VTAC sling mentioned at the beginning of this thread is the best one I've ever used in the field.

I'm still in New Zealand completing a hunt in the mountains of the Souh Island.

It's been a bunch of steep verticals up and down most every day for nearly 3 weeks.

I've been carrying my R8 6.5 Creed using this sling and it proved to be a great carry kit for climbing areas that I really needed to use both hands to hang on to the steepness of numerous mountain sides while transversing thar and chamois trails in the wilderness.

This sling kept my rifle glued to my shoulder while carrying my pack and the fast adjustable length allowed easy transition to shooting positions both using and not requiring to tie myself up on the rifle in the sling.

Great and versatile piece of kit in the field and on the range.

That is a great picture, a beautiful scene and a great looking rifle.

Gorgeous rifle and epic view! The sling's pretty cool too.

Is that a New Zealand Chamois?

Beautiful country and quite an animal.
