[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1094998, member: 4191"] Realize I never responded to your question. I do still have a sling on my rifle, although it is rarely used. I could leave it off and remove several ounces of weight from my rifle while backpacking. I do usually remove the front of the sling from the stock when I have time to prepare for a longer range shot. As I think about this I'm undecided which way to go in the future. I recall use of the sling after we've set up spike camp and when I'm not strapped into my backpack. Either way, the sling on the Kifaru gun bearer hasn't created any conflicts while carrying the rifle strapped into the gun bearer harness. I'm leaning toward continuing to carry with the sling attached to the rifle, so the sling is available when I'm not strapped into my backpack, as the only drawback is carrying 4-5 extra ounces of weight. Makes me wonder what others do that strap their rifles into/onto their backpacks??? [/QUOTE]
