[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1905877, member: 17889"] No one else will concur with this because everyone uses the traditional shoulder sling or a pack as suggested else where in this thread. They don't try it so they don't know what they are missing. However, I am a believer in the Boonie Packer Safari sling concept. Use it on all of my long guns including hunting lightweights, ARs, shotguns, Barrett MRADs and even Barrett .50BMG M107A1 at 28lbs plus ammo and scope......you asked about packing big ones. Typically carries rifle in the "patrol ready".....military is where I became a believer in this sling concept.......and Jesus!! :) :) :) Allows quick snap shots when presented.....really useful where your prey hunts you or shoots back....YMMV.
