How’d everyone do.
I’ve been on call with outages

I might have to toodle out with my 350 legend.

That’s a hot round right now and a wicked rifle. Thanks for sharing.

Whacked some rabbits but that is probably not what you are asking about. I really enjoy rabbit hunting.

[longtail]

love it!

Actually, you guys are probably the right people to ask - I have a 20 gauge that I carry with me when rabbit hunting (870 Remington Wingmaster). I want a sling but do not want to screw anything into the stock or otherwise permanently injure the stock and there is no clip provided. Is there any solution that really works - maybe with a cradle at the butt end or something?

Thanks

Pat

There are loop slings, but I'm not a fan. What's the issue with adding a swivel? To me a sling is key to stabilizing a shot as much as transporting a rifle.

Thanks MP

I definitely do not need a sling to stabilize my shot. Never used a sling and, if I must say, I don't miss often. I just don't want to screw something into my stock. Really, the only time I will need a sling is when rabbit hunting since I am walking around so much and can't put the gun down. It is not necessary when sitting in a blind or dove patch and I can just set the gun down.

Will look up "loop sling"

Unfortunately, if you want some type of permanent sling, you’re gonna have to modify the stock to carry it.

Thanks guys

Steve - that looks interesting

Or get a magazine cap with provisions for a sling swivel and you only need to worry about the other end.

I had an old loop on the front , lace on the stock sling on a muzzleloader decades ago.
Used it once or twice, didn't care for it.

Sorta like this.

Progger,

Maryland's first black powder seasons had to be Flint or Percussion; we built our Thompson Center Hawkins from TC kits, they shot well using round balls. They were heavy and needed a sling to carry for sure.

We’d pack em with 90 grains and toilet paper and shoot ‘em off at midnight on new years!
man they were loud

Oh, I'm aware.
TC too rich for me, built a CVA Hawkens from a kit.
Used black.walnut hills and turpentine for the stain.
Tried the lace on sling, went back to carrying over shoulder. Actually balances pretty well

 

[longtail]

that was a .45? Correct?

 

[longtail]

I’ll take that Kentucky .45 and that baker tree stand if ya don’t mind.
What’s pyrodex?

 

[Progger]

50
I shoot patched .490 RB over 90 gr Goes 2F.
Same load since the '80s.

 

[longtail]

The perfect load for that rifle and twist. Choptank would know more about ballistics than I
