20190528_205001.jpg my Henery longranger in 308; my wife bought this for our 25 wedding anniversary . So the recommendations that I need is were can I get a awsome leather sling? I have scoped the rifle, shame on me for not having an updated photo and please post your rifles and slings. Thanks in advance.

I have two type of slings on rifles with swivel studs. Depending on what is available when I want one: Nylon and Leather. My nylon slings are a thick green 1 or 1 1/4 inch nylon that are very comfortable (not the thin black junk in the hardware store!) or the traditional adjustable leather (M 1903?) These are very expensive, so I find them use at shows and shops. Often they have one of the sections missing, unless you are shooting in a Service Rifle Match a missing section is OK. Either sling is hugely adjustable, and will allow you to try different set ups and lengths.

For a nice sporting/hunting rifle I like the Half twist of a Hasty sling. These are very fast on and off, and are great for a quick offhand shot at targets or even medium fast moving game, (like a trotting coyote!

Thanks for the great advice, but I was hoping to get some recommendations for more custom leather sling. On most of my rifles I have the claw, which I really like. I thinks since is my forever rifle that is deserved something special.

first of all.......
what a tremendous wife that you have
great gift

for your sling
These folks are simply amazing
Ive had a few holsters and a belt made by them.
A family owned biz in upper Mn , just real salt of the earth people.
Expect to spend time on the phone with them , describing what you need , these people measure twice to cut once.
small biz run the right way ! the end result is a product that you will pass down to family members

Forum member SnubbyFan does right nice leatherwork at reasonable prices. I haven't seen that he's made a rifle sling recently, but he's more than capable . . .

Depends on the use of the sling. If it is for simple carry and good looks, have a custom leather one made. If you use it as a steadying device, there is nothing better than the Military adjustable sling.
