I ordered a new upper for my rifle. I need a good sling when it shows up. Leather seems to be what I see at the few matches Ive attended. Is there a particular one that is best,and where do I order?
Thanks, Mike

Les Tam is highly regarded, but there is a wait.
Ron Brown is also spoken well of.
Nothing wrong with a Turner, either.
I use a ratty old USGI cotton web sling and love it. It cost me $5. A certain sling won't win or lose you any points, it's whatever you find easiest to use.
Mike,
If you want I can attach my backup rifle to that web sling I'm loaning you this Saturday for you to test drive in the match.
It's a WOA 1x7 with 1/4 x 1/4 pinned sights and a Geiselle trigger in the lower. Pretty similar to what you'll be driving next year...
Only condition is you shoot my ammo in it. I'll let you give me $30 for the ammo.
It will be Sierra 69's over 25.0 RL-15 for 200 & 300 and Sierra 80's over 24.0 RL15 for 600.
I will also make you collect and return as much of the brass from this ammo as possible.

Pat,
In off hand can the sling be used for support if it is attached to the rifle at both ends?
I have a small match at my club early next month. Just wondering

I have a 54" Ron Brown and it works just fine. If you get a light colored sling (tan or light brown) you can mark your different positions with a black sharpie. (Silver sharpie on black leather works too but seems to wear off faster.)
I'm personally not a fan of the biothane slings. Too sticky for my liking.
