Flush cup on butt—on inside or outside of stock for across-chest carry?

[Macintosh]

Ive installed flush cups on several stocks and really like having the gun across my chest when still hunting. I have always installed with the butt-stock cup on the inside of the stock against my chest. However, Ive seen some mounted on the outside—appears this may result in holding the gun flat against your chest a little better. For those of you who use this carry and have tried both, how do you prefer yours?

Safari Sling - Redi-Mag

Safari Sling keeps your rifle secure on your shoulder. But, it automatically drops away as you raise to shoot...without unslinging....making you faster.

Slightly different than a traditional cross body slung rifle but similar results.

I’ve used one of these for years and like the way the rifle carries.

Usually carried horizontal about waist high for me.
Can also go muzzle down across your chest or completely vertical on your right side (for a right handed shooter) if the barrel is short enough.

Maybe another option to consider.

Thanks. My wife has a safari sling and likes it, I dont care for it though. Definitely sticking with flush cups and a sling.

Outside. No chance on interfering with a bino harness in odd positions.

For you guys carrying your gun in front from side mount flush cups does it look something like this? Or is it different?

@elsb0048 , yes more or less.

I have one of these I purchased from Cabela’s back in the 80’s that I utilize every day hunting in Colorado and every several years in MN northwoods. Awesome tool. Good to see they are still being made.

I’ve had mine for probably 10 and dad probably 20.
For how and where I hunt they work really well.

I bought one of those a few years ago after reading that guys really like those. The first time I tried it I couldn't figure out how to use it with a bino harness. I need to play more with it.

I use mine a lot. I'm curious what struggle you've had between safari sling and bino harness?

Trying to figure out where to adjust it to. So the rifle hangs below the harness? Above the harness? On top of the harness? I ended switching for another sling for that hunt and never got around to play more with it. I should play with it again.

My rifle is right at waist level or slightly above with the safari sling.

Binos higher up on my chest.

I'm about the same as BLJ: rifle sits at waist level, typically right level with pack hip belt, usually 2" or a little more clearance to the bottom of the bino harness
