Slogan sling is very similar only rubber. I have both an Andy's leather sling and a Slogan. They work very much the same, the Slogan is much better at staying on the shoulder with a pack on. The rubber snugs the rifle on to your shoulder.

I've used Andys slings as well and they are excellent but once I tried the Slogan they hit the EE.
I now run the Slogan sling on all my field/hunting rifles with the only exception being my Kimber that I use in the mountains where every ounce counts.

I run my Slogan set up the same way as a Rhodesian sling with the forward loop a little smaller than you have. It is a little slower to get into than the leather ones because of the texture of the rubber but it locks you into position really nicely.
That's what I use on my GSR's, returns to zero very nicely
Looking good! The classic set-up.

Well I thought I would give the Scout another try. Mounted a 3-9×40 on it and had to remove the rail to make it fit. What do you guys do, grind the rail down a little to fit the bell?

I did take it off, I guess I just like the look of it. I realize it has zero function, but it would save me from tracking down filler screws.
With the factory Ruger rings (#4 & #5), a Leupold 32/33mm Scope fits perfect. I run a VX-3 2.5-8x36mm on mine and I had to file down a bit in the center of the rail, but you’d have to really look to see it. A 40mm Scope would require a decent amount of material to be removed from the rail.
Removing the rail is certainly a good option. I prefer the look of the rifle with it installed though.
I have a 2-7 sitting here as well, might give that a try.
On a side note GMC403, this one is so much smoother then that first one I bought. No rim polish needed on this bad boy.

I just took mine off for the 3-9 on the 223. Balance better without it anyways.
