[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2847911, member: 29323"] I save weight with a lightweight homemade Safari sling. It has a loop on front and back to go over the barrel and around the butt stock. Your rifle is carried as you would without a sling, and the sling goes over your neck and one shoulder. To shoot quickly, all that is required is to lift the rifle and the loop falls off of the stock. It is the most comfortable way to carry outside of a pack. I eliminated the snap swivels by using a boot lace through the sling stud. My first ones were made to be adjustable, but once you know how long you need, there is enough adjustment in the back loop. I use a Speedy Sticher Sewing Awl to sew a loop into both ends of a 1-1/2" nylon strap. I run the boot lace through the loop and the stud and tie it off. I spent hundreds of dollars to get a lightweight rifle, and it seemed silly to put a heavy sling on it. [/QUOTE]
