Dustyman Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Would appreciatte recommendations of good slings , predominately that don't come f@&£in undone and deposit 4.5 k of rifle and scope on a stone track !!!! Painful lesson but definitely not to be repeated if I can help it . Only want a nice wide , pref padded , strong sling but with buckles or adjusters that are not gonna slip through , cheers , will read any responses once the tears subside ! :-) thanks for looking , Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustyman Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Painfull yes but poss not as bad as could have been . Fell only a short distance but landed in bolt side so scuff and dents in bolt handle , double turn turret , parallax wheel and moderator end . At least glass is ok . ( I hope ) Assume will need a resighting session and hope no damage internally . Had just done a 300 yrs crow and less than 1/2 group at 100 so was quite chuffed till this happened . Still lesson learned . Thanks , looks like as I had thought it might be with. TAB getting most comments . Will look to getting one now I think , cheers Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW58 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Ian - it's well worth comparing US prices on TAB gear, I bought some of my TAB stuff direct from the US, although my TAB RAS sling was bought in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradders Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I ordered a couple of leather slings from Les Tam in Hawaii in Dec 2012 Email last night said he's about 2 1/2 months from starting them :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustyman Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Apols if offended , was meant tongue in cheek . Well made slings from viewing the website and I am sure worth the wait, unfort I waited 13 months for the stock and wish to use the rifle so shorter lead time is preferred , looks like it could be worth it for the long term but I also wanted it as a carry sling as well , so not sure about the comfort side , they comfortable over the shoulder as well as for holding the rifle ? Thanks for comments tho feedback was what I wanted , cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
