High Grade Rifle Sling

[Bazoo]

I am looking for a high quality, high grade rifle sling that would be suitable to go on a Winchester 1892 finished by Turnbull. The gun will have sling swivel studs. I want some suggestions as to a suitable sling.

What I want it a sling that is a simple leather strap, with chicago screws. I do not want a cobra sling. I want the highest quality leather and workmanship, minimal to no tooling.

I appreciate the suggestions all.

My son ordered some leather gear from this guy.
I called Buffalo leather myself and talked to the owner. He is a conservative and a hunter. He makes leather for DJT Jr. His products are first rate.
This is my son's guide gun with Buffalo Leather sling, lever wrap, and ammo cuff.

I have a few from Brass Stacker. Excellent quality.

I also have holsters from Diamond D and their slings look nice, but I’ve not touched one and they appear more modern than the traditional Brass Stacker….. Edit…”Cobra Sling”….I understand now. These Diamond D would not be what you’re looking for, but the Brass Stacker fits your bill perfectly. I’ll try to take some pics when I get home.

How about a simple Montana Sling so as not to take away from the rifle? Functional and made in the USA.

Whichever one will match the high end rifle case you choose.

Aside from using a sling to tote your rifle around, who uses one as a shooting aid? I have recently started, and it has helped me quite a bit.

It would be nice if the sling matched the case, but the sling is more important to me because its part of the gun in my mind.

I will use a sling for a shooting aid when I see the need, but I practice so much off hand, and normally shoot at such short ranges, that I can manage without it. I generally only shoot to 100, and most of the time closer. Mostly I want the sling for carrying purposes when afield.

My opinion, the Montana 1" sling seems to fill the bill. Have one on my Win Mod 94 30-30. Simply works.

I have 2 Montana slings. A 1" and a 1 1/4". I wouldn't use anything else after using them. Overall I prefer the 1" sling. It is only 1-2 ounces more than the lightest nylon slings, but is so much better. The wider sling is a bit heavier and bulky. It is a good fit on a heavier rifle, but overall the narrower version is my favorite.

They can be mounted either way. With the loop toward the forend it can be used as a shooting aid. But that puts the slick leather on your shoulder when carrying it. Most of the time I mount mine with the loop toward the butt. This puts the rough leather against your shoulder and keeps it from sliding off.

On my Winchester 308.

I appreciate the suggestions for Montana sling. I'll think on it.

I would be more interested in appropriate sling swivel studs for a classy lever action.

Very similar to the barrel band safari rifle style would be a inletted two screw rear, and a forward magazine tube mounted front band swivel.

The “best” for actual carry would be the Wells Fargo(?) bank/train guard style.

However…..
I think a very good case could be made for no sling swivels at all.
The M92 is a slick, quick, saddle rifle, and the only thing hanging off the rifle should be a saddle ring and a rear receiver peep sight. A nice leather rifle saddle scabbard might be a more traditional way to carry it if it is not in your hands ready to go. But a horse might be a little more trouble than a rifle sling…

Montana Slings. I was pointing them out to my wife as a suggested Xmas present, but was having trouble deciding....black of brown? She bought them both. Love that woman!! And love the slings.

I appreciate all the suggestions. Top contender is the Barranti Spartan Sling.

Wait…you’re asking about a sling for a Turnbull worked over Win 1892 lever gun and there’s no picture of it?
