What type/brand of sling is best? Yet cheapest?

I use the Quake 'The Claw' 2-point sling. It rocks for gripping clothing and staying put. http://www.quakeinc.com/riflesling.html

They do make a single point version called 'The Claw Tactical'. http://www.quakeinc.com/tacticalsling.html Been thinking about picking one of these up. Both are under $30.

I ordered the claw 2 point sling. In od green. I hope it works good. I liked the rocky mountain tactical but will try one of these claws and if I dont like it then will go with the rocky mountain tactical.
 
Just ordered the Blackhawk 55-round bandolier from Midway USA. Ill let you know how it is when she arrives.

Did I mention I bought a box of the Hornady Zombie 12ga buckshot? Haha, figured I'd get a box as a souvenir. I wont shoot it. Just save it for fun/sentimentality.

Holy Smokes man! What will you do with that! Zombies? :D

The Hornady Z-Max? I'm almost jealous! I want some! Well, I want alot!
 
Rossignol-

To be perfectly honest, I bought the bandolier for the "cool" factor, but I also bought it to throw in my bugout bag as well.

Regarding the "zombie" rounds, again, they were purchased for the "novelty" factor. If I had the $$$, I would've bought a case to stock my bugout bag and in order to actually shoot some. However, I'm just glad I got a box before they discontinue them, which hopefully they wont before I can order a case.

Man, I dont think theyre goin anywhere! I talked to Hornady today and marketing says theyve just begun.

I posted more in the ammo section;
Hornady Z-Max
 
Dang it boy this topic went the totally opposite direction. One minute we are talking about slings and the next ammo.
 
Not a bad price on that! SportsmansGuide does have some really good deals, pretty much all the time! I'd kinda like to get a GI cotton web sling. They have some right now that were never issued.
 
I need some help finding a sling folks!

I'm lookin for the kind that wraps the stock on one end and attaches to a swivel on the other. Anyone know what these are and who makes them? I know I've seen them, but cant remember for the life of me where to look!

HELP! I need one before Allison and I go hunting!

Specter Gear I believe.

Ooooh, Good lookin out! Thanks!

And made in the US of A!!! I think i found another by Gear Sector, but it would require purchasing an adapter for the stock. My problem here is that Allisons gun doesnt have a sling swivel mount on the stock, and I dont particularly feel like installing one.

I guess I could, and then just a GI web sling? But I think she will like the wrap around style!
 
The Blackhawk Universal Swift Sling (p/n 70GS17BK) is made by Spectre and sold under the Blackhawk brand, or the other way around. Anyway, they're the same just the packaging is different.

http://www.opticsplanet.net/blackhawk-u ... s17bk.html

There were enough pieces inside that I outfitted an AR-15 with collapsable stock and A2FS side swivel with a quick-release and infinitely adjustable 3-point sling.

And with the parts left over I added the wraparound buttstock sling mount and front attachment point to a Mossy 500. All I needed then was a $4.99 black USGI nylon basic AR sling to go between the two points.

Heck, I still have one or two sling attachment pieces left over from the Universal Kit.

I'll grab pics if you want to see what all comes with it.

$39 did me up two guns quite well..... :)
 
Well, I did the Specter Gear from Amazon! $29, $36 delivered. I actually didnt know I confirmed the order. The previous page review and confirm the order on the next page. I went to the next page cuz I wanted to know what the shipping would be, and there I saw a conformation number!

Hmmm, I have to explain this one to Jenny now. Darnit. I really just wanted a total so I could tell her first before ordering.

I looked at the BlackHawk and Gear Sector too, I really liked the Gear Sector, my first choice, but its also $20 more before shipping. The Specter Gear is very much the same but without the quick pull ladder adjustment strap on the front point.

What I do like about the Specter Gear is includes an adapter to use with the magazine lug screw. There are variations for the 590 too.

So I guess when it gets here, I'll review it! :D Allison will like it for sure! I may end up using it though... HA! :lol:

Ugh man... She was mad at me all last night cuz she insists Cole, her older brother by a couple years, stole and hid her Nintendo DS charger and I wouldnt go ransack his room to find it. She just kep t goin on and on about it and just really nasty dispositioned about it.

The point, when I showed her the sling (she has a birthday comin up) she said she didnt care about a sling. What evah. I think shes talkin to me again today, so we'll see.

And as you said, if it turns out she really doesnt care, I think it can still be used with a 1 1/4" sling swivel so I can put it either my 590A1 or my 500.

She'll miss it though when we hit the field and we're following a hard headed stubborn as can be pointer who is as likely to keep goin for miles on end as to actually stop long enough on a point so we figure out where the bird is. Yeah, field hunting for us is a long long cold walk. We see birds when she busts a covey. She points for 2 seconds at a time. Our best bet is to catch her while shes stalking and creeping.

Point being, Allison can carry the gun. Heck with her.
