Welcome to the forum glad you joined us. Hope you enjoy the 243 one of my favorite rounds. http://www.buffalobrandleather.net These guys make some nice slings

Welcome to the forum! If you haven't yet done so, check out the sling options at www.henrypride.com. They offer the Diamond D products which are very high quality. I'll have a Diamond D sling on order soon for my All Weather 357/38. Plus Diamond D makes an awesome chest rig for carrying a handgun.

I put an all leather sling on from Montana Gun Slings. I found it at Cabelas, but they sell them on their website also. Lots of different options. Thats on my Long Ranger 308

The sling I've gone to for all my single shots and my Henry lever actions is sold by Browning (made in Canada). It's a leather slide arrangement on a simple 1 inch sling, there's no metal, other than the swivels, so it won't mar the receiver, and it's also quite light. I don't recall the model name, number, etc., and the only place I've ever seen them is in Superior Wisconsin, at Shooter's Supply (I recently bought one for my Son-in-Law's .308 ss. That's not much help, I know, but at least they're out there. Someone else must have 'em .

Update: The sling is called the "Six Mile Leather Sling", but now is shown as being discontinued. I'd better pick up another spare next time I'm in Superior .

OR buy the Tandy Leather Sling Kit for $19.99 and do it yourself!

I still have mine that gets used on several rifles from back when the kit cost something like $4.79 I think!

I got myself a Montana all leather sling that has a sliding adjustment built into it. It is a leather knot of some type and it is real handy while hunting. The sling looks great on mine. I also added a leather loop lever handle wrap from Hellhound Leather. Together they look great on the my Henry BBS 44M!

Pictures?

I have good pics but I am not tech savy enough to add them.... Can someone tell me how?

JPEG files work pretty good. Go into full editor mode with the button below, scroll down to attachments, "ADD FILE", select the pic you want and upload it.

Oh that is a nice one!

its been interesting to look at the really nice slings in the links already provided in this thread .... it sure doesn't take much effort to tie up some $$$ .... historically, the only time I attach a sling is when I'm hunting .... I've never bought an expensive one and don't anticipate doing so but have enjoyed looking
