I finally installed my S&J Single Point Sling on my Marine Magnum yesterday, and spent the entire day today hunting for groundhogs (only got one - saw 2). Anyway, I saw these things back when Simon only had a few available on his test guns, and I was impressed then. Other things came up in life, and I never actually bought the sling and adapter until last week for my own gun.
Man, this is by far the best way to carry a gun. I could walk and pick up stuff freely, but the shotgun was hanging just out of the way in case I needed it (like when the woodchuck popped his head out of the hole and I wasn't even holding onto the gun). In this case, I was able to grab the gun and shoot the little rodent before he got back down the hole. Had the gun been slung over my shoulder, he would surely have gotten away. I can definetly see this being an asset when you are deer hunting...no one likes to carry their gun in the ready position all day, but the minute you sling the damn thing over your shoulder is the minute you need the gun. So, the moral here is...put one of these things on your 870...I think it is great. I also purchased a Blue Force Gear SOC-C Sling with the adapter to go with the plate. I can't say enough good about this...I wish the gun had come with this setup.
