Looking for some different ideas for attaching a sling to my Rossi 92 (besides the Uncle Mike's front tube clamp).
Pictures would be great!

I have a 454 so it has a threaded cap at the end of the mag tube. I was thinking of have a sling swivel installed on this tube and one on the butt.

Has anyone ever done this?

I just received my Ultimate Gun Sling this past week in the mail. I ordered their standard sling for my rifles with swivels and the loop sling for my BLR takedown as I didn't want to attach sling swivels. I attached the Loop sling as per their instructions and was able to also fit a padded cheek rest with pockets overtop the sling attachment and it turned out awesome. I must say, the sling seems pretty awesome but I will reserve judgement until I hunt with it in Saskatchewan cold! It'll be a true proving ground for the rubber sling. Shipping from the states after ordering was less than 10 days! Here is the website https://ultimategunsling.com/product-category/sportingslings/
Good luck

I had a Rossi 92 and it had the saddle ring. I used a single point sling and it work great

Well that's a different idea... I'll have to think about that one.
I most often carry this rifle with me through the bush. A one-point setup with both hands free might be just what the doctor ordered...

Not sure about that, but I've been toying with the idea of tapping the barrel band for a swivel stud.

I use a single point with my full stocked Ranch Hand and it works great but I don't think I would like it as much with a 20" barrel gun. I am only 5'9" though.

I was walking the dog in the back 40 trying to imagine having my carbine (it is a 20" model) hanging from my chest as I wrestled my way through some willow vines while crossing a stream. I'm 6'4" so was thinking it might be alright but I'd have to try a mock up before I commit.

How do you like your full stocked ranch hand? Is it in 357?

I would use a quick-adjust two-point sling set up to carry in front instead of a single point sling; your rifle won't flop around as much. A Blue Force Gear or Viking Tactical buttstock adapter gives you a mounting point on top of the butt. If you don't want to use a clamp on the magazine tube, you can use something like a leather lace, paracord, or the like on the front.

I love it! It's in 45 Colt. Probably my most carried gun as I carry it every night when I walk the dogs and on lots of daytime walks too.

The "experts" on here have informed me that it is not enough cartridge for bear protection but I think a 255gr RNFP @ 1800fps will adequately do the job.

Hopefully I never have to prove it one way or the other :)

I ordered some barrel bands with a side loop for a sling to be cut by waterjet, then ground down the edges to profile it to shape. I think I might have sold one or two. They were in 304 SS. Had to source a tap to match the odd ball factory thread pitch. These were for my winchester 94, I used to have pics in a thread but that was before photobucket went full retard. I'm trying to find pictures now. Not sure if the profile is the same a win 94, but I'm happy with them.

Nice, first time I've seen a top rail on a Rossi like that (but I don't get out much either haha).
Yeah, unless it's grizzlies or polar bears I think 45lc is plenty, especially if you're hand-loading. It's black bears and wolves in my neck of the woods and I have no problem relying on 357 for the same purpose.

Thanks for the pics - another interesting idea.
I like the side loops!

Also an interesting looking finish on that lower buttstock - what is it/how is it finished?

Cheers,
