Today I order three Stock butt slings,one for my Marlin 45-70, two for my Rossi 38-357 & .44 Mag. Anyone have opinions about Bass Stacker slings?

Never heard of them, but did google them and do some research. I'll pass. You've got to have a stud on the forend or mag tube anyway, might as well put one on the buttstock. It ain't rocket science. I think the leather strap around the stock will discolor and scratch up the stock over time too. I certainly wouldn't want one with the added pads or ammo loops on the sling. Makes it impossible to shoot accurately with 8-10 rounds of ammo hanging under the gun swinging back and forth while you try to keep the sights on target.
These are my favorite slings, 1/2 the price and very good quality. Made in Montana.

I'm a fan of Brownells Latigo sling. Instant adjustment and high quality.

I like the plain old leather military slings.
I was gonna run an old Bauer Bros on my CZ but it was too short, sold it.
It was in super good shape too.
So...............to make do.............I put my '76 Bianchi Double Suede Cobra on it.
My 700 wears a Butler Creek Alaskan, w shell loops cut off.
My AR has a Magpul QD sling.
If I upgrade my 700 stock to HS Precsion I'll also class up the sling.
If I get the MarkV, def leather mil sling.
Get the Ruger #1..........I'd go Andys or another old Bucheimer quick adjust (I set it and forget it but like the clean look).

The use of slings can be broken down into four broad categories.
1. Carry aid.
2. Shooting aid.
3. Some combination of 1 & 2
4. 'Cause the Sergeant told you to mount one.
These will blur a bit (particularly with #3).
Carrying from ride to tree stand will be different from hiking a week across the veldt. With the former a svelt narrow sling may siffice. For the latter, a wider band will carry better. But, be aware you may want to vary the carry position when carrying sling for any distance.
As a shooting aid, being able to set the biceps loop (and free it from the stock toe) are middling critical issues. Slings do not lend themselves--generally--to rapid set-up as shooting aids. However, if time is less of an issue, they work quite well. There, the issue is repeatability--set it and forget it.
As to #4, that's much easier. You simply follow the Regulations, keep your eyes in the boat, and not give the Sergeant a reason to make your life "interesting."

You can add weapon retention to the list to allow you to release the rifle to transition to a handgun, or use your hands for some other purpose, and to prevent someone from taking it away from you.
I suppose you could consider that use to fall under carry aid, but the slings that are used for parade carry and tactical use tend to be quite different and used in very different ways.
