• Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

Hi guys !
I am looking to buy a sling for my Sako AV 30-06.. just wonder what leight it should be, and what sling comes with hooks for rifle ?
Any suggestions? I want a leather one ..and that won't cost much..
 
First......I use my slings for shooting....not carrying.

For many years, my go-to sling is Brownell's Latigo.
It can be used as a "quick-sling" function.....or a full "target" function.

1. I don't use a sling for shooting, so to me it is just a strap, kept in the pack or pocket until needed. Before dawn, and after the game or the sun is down it is to attached to the rifle for back carry and to free up both hands. When hunting, I keep my rifle in my hands, never hanging off my shoulder. No sling permanently attached to the rifle encourages this.

2. When hunting with my son this year he noticed that I never retrieved a brass case that had been used to shoot at game. I deliberately taught myself to do this (even back when I was still reloading) in order to rapidly eject a spent case and immediately rechamber a fresh round without even glancing to see where the brass went. Keeping my eye on the game and assuring that I had a fast follow up shot if needed.

Just the way I do things. Others have their own systems.

The Cobra sling I bought can adjust to carry the rifle on your back as you say. I love that feature. The wider “cobra” part helps especially with the heft of an AV (mine weighs almost 10 LBs with scope and shells) and especially if you are carrying it a long way. Of course if you like shooting slings it isn’t for you.
