[QUOTE="middleofnowhere, post: 1805438, member: 96793"] I backpacked once using just the gun bearer without having a sling on the rifle. It had it’s pluses and minuses. I did find myself still wanting to use the sling over my shoulder a few times. For the pack out in bear country, I didn’t want the rifle strapped to the pack, so the gun bearer was the best option available to have reasonable access to rifle while using trekking poles. currently I have a Quake Claw sling that I have used on several rifles and shotguns. I like it because the rubber portion has some “stick” to it and doesn’t slide off my shoulder. The Claw is heavy though. i’m thinking of going to a more simple “webbing” sling to save weight and bulk. maybe I will be trying a lighter webbing style sling later this year?
