[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 1871719, member: 113623"] I think the sling is still an essential part of hunting, the big difference between the sling on my precision/competition/tactical chassis rifle and my hunting rifle is padding. I want padding and fewer big metal or plastic components if I am going to be carrying the rifle around when it is not strapped to my pack. Because of this I think it lends itself less to being a shooting aide, and more as a comfortable means of transportation. Where a competition you would be moving from stage to stage and the rifle would be in your hands or across your chest, my hunting rifle is going to be over my shoulder. The sling plays less of a role in positional shooting while hunting versus competition in general, and things like shooting cuffs (which I don't really care for) I don't see being used while hunting (not to say they aren't or you can't). Either way I like a bit of bungee when I can get it. My current hunting slings is a Spec Ops Master Blaster Sticky-Back Sling (good sling, ridiculous name) My other shooting sling for my chassis rifle is an Armageddon Gear Precision Rifle Sling. I have previously used TAB Gear products (Pinnacle sling and shooting bags) but have found them somewhat poorly finished for the high price. [/QUOTE]
