2-Point Sling for Browning BAR?
« on: March 02, 2013, 09:30:34 AM »
My wife's grandfather wants me to help him find a 2-point sling for his Browning BAR.  All of their deer hunting is driven, and he has emphysema, so he stands on every drive. 
 
He is looking for a 2-point sling that will allow him to not have to hold the rifle for the entire duration of his time on the stand, and it needs to be quick handling so that he can bring it up quickly when a deer comes through.
 
Anybody have any experience with one or could point me in the right direction?

 I just use a common lighter weight, non-leather sling. Most of mine are the camo type from Cabelas. That sling with the Browning logo on it is nice too.

I've got just what you are looking for.  It's called a boonie packer Safari Sling.  I've had one of these for years now and love it.  It allows you to carry your rifle in front of your body.  I used it a lot when riding a four wheeler when going to & from my stand.

As you raise the rifle into shooting position, the part of the sling that encircles the butstock slides off the back of the stock.  It works great!!!!
