My buddy just finished a stock for me, a beautiful hand carved claro walnut 30.06 for a Bat Action and Brux barrel. I would like to get a nice leather sling for it. Anybody have a good recommendation? I am not super keen on the Montana Rifle sling. The other problem I am having is how to keep the metal rings on the slings from dinging up the stock. Is there a way to stop that from happening...without covering the sling attachments with tape?
