Slinging the Stag-10 (Lev2) for hunting

[beltfed]

Lmao your arguments have just become more and more rediculous. I can tell you that I am the farthest thing from a fudd and support all manuerisms of firearms ownership and use. I don't turn my nose up to any one way that one choose to be interested in with regards to this hobby, but I do believe that if I was hiking through the bush I want it to be a comfortable as possible. In my past careers, which I will not announce here on this forum for obvious reasons, I had to carry rifles with slings like the one you are arguing about and it is not comfortable to carry for long periods of time. The slings that we are arguing about are good for the applications they were designed for, but in my opinion not for what the OP was asking about. Granted it does come down to what he tries and ends up choosing. What I was suggesting was a different sling setup for comfort while carrying the rifle for long periods of time so that the OP different options other thna just the tacit cool sling of the day. I have a couple of MS slings for some of my rifles, I have hiked for 20 km or more with this sling and I can tell you it was not comfortable. I am still searching for that comfortable sling setup.

I have also spoke to many ex/current military and have heard many different pint of views on gear they were issued VS what they were allowed to use. Many said that they had to use what they were issued and it made their lives miserable and uncomfortable. Again not everyone is the same or requires the same gear to be comfortable as you seem to think they are.

So instead of getting you ass all bunched up maybe contribute and and get your head out of your own bunched up ass.

Now move on.

Yes comparing our posts it certainly appears that I'm the one with a bunched up buttocks....

Look, it's this simple: If you want me to stop pointing out your obvious bias against military type slings only suitable for 'gun fighting' - in your words, just stop posting drivel.

If you think maybe, just maybe, there is something that an aftermarket 'tactical' or military type sling has to offer in the civilian use of arms, such as going on a hunt, then I suggest you broaden your horizons and give a Vickers padded a try. It can be used in various ways to carry including a regular two point slung over the shoulder ala Elmer the Fudd, is exceptionally comfortable for what it is, and the worst thing that can happen is that it provides you with confirmation my only reason to post in this thread is to bait you.

However, while you are thinking on that very topic, do keep in mind that it isn't just me that is recommending the Vickers padded. It's a great sling, well suited for the task, and the Q.D. socket method of attachment is far and away the best mode of connection I can think of, especially if one is mounting it to a Stag Model 10.

No.. Just no.. You are reading it as if I have an "obvious bias against military type slings". I never said that nor am I against them. I simply pointed out that there are more comfortable sling setups for long range carry than the well known military slings out on the market. You chose to ignore most of my posts and only focused on me suggesting that there may be other options and that I would like to know what they are as well. I even said that I have several of the MS line of slings for range use and I do like them. For range use. All of this bias you speak of is your words, not mine. In no way did I say anything negative about military slings, for Bush carry for the average person I know there are different and more comfortable sling setups. All my posts had nothing to do with hating military. And really your post was to bait me? What are you 12? Why? That bored?

I think what he is going after is a sling setup for comfort, not gun fighting. That sling setup is an effective option.. For fighting.. Not long treks through the bush while sling on the back.

I get where you are going with this, but I didn't realise that all hunters or those who wish to take up hunting with one of these rifles was in the army and has had their bodies conditioned for "long walks in the bush" with huge loads on their bodies and are taught to ignore that discomfort that comes with it. There are those who would like to have a comfortable setup so they can enjoy their hunting/hiking trips more instead of constantly adjusting the rifle to get it into a more comfortable position. How about we stop comparing these issues to a military application, because it isn't a military application. As well, yes maybe, this sling setup is comfortable for some people, but we aren't all alike so maybe keep those points in mind when answering.

All of your posts contain either a dig at military type slings being unsuited for, or poorly applied to, the civilian use of a sling to go hunting, or justification or back-peddling on your statements claiming such non-sense.

simply pointed out that there are more comfortable sling setups for long range carry than the well known military slings out on the market.

You made the claim that the MS sling is suited for 'gun fighting' and not a good solution to slinging a rifle over the shoulder for a hunt. You provided you biased opinion and did not suggest any particular alternative.
When it was suggested that a padded Vickers Sling provided further comfort and you you were called out on your opinion, you then began to double down on you ridiculous generalized assertion that military type slings were poor choices for hunting and that there are better options.

no way did I say anything negative about military slings, for Bush carry for the average person I know there are different and more comfortable sling setups.

OK I'll bite- What WOULD you attach to a Stag to carry long distances? What would you attach it to the rifle with?
Would you even bring a Stag-10 on a hunt due to it's weight and size? What would you hunt with it?

I have a 3 point sling by condor, it will work as a 2 point sling mind you, and it's comfy I find with the A2 stock

I would love to bring my stag 10 on a hunt. And because of the wight I would want something like this:

Also you seem to take these as "digs" when in fact it is just a different point of view. Like i said I have nothing against military slings. I use them myself, but not for long distance carry.
