Everything you need to know about slings and swivels for safaris and safari rifles

[Rule 303]

Might not find an original set but one of Uncle Mikes QD models would most likely fit.

The Remington 30-S used swivels like the ones below I believe. Good luck finding a pair:

Aha !! I knew it, just never saw a picture of them. Thanks !! Now I know what to look for at the very least. So that was back in the 1930s, that must have predated the current standard Uncle Mikes type with the narrower studs.

I dont know if anyone had mentioned the blue force gear sling, but they adjust with a sliding buckle just like the Dick Murry slings and are tight against the rifle instantly when needed. I have them on a few rifles I really Ike them.

I have three leather slings (a 45mm, 65mm & a Wilderness) from Els Fine Leather in RSA. I got them mainly because I liked the way they looked & the hand-crafted quality. But going out to their website to get the link above, I noticed that their price had skyrocketed. Ouch! I'm glad I got them after visiting the Stellenbosch region a few years ago because I don't think my modest budget would allow them now.

The other sling I use on my Ruger 275 is from NECG. It what seems to be a common theme, its price has gone up 50% from a few years ago as well.
