Sling for Tikka

[puddleglum]

Hi all,

I got my Tikka back with the 16” 338 Federal barrel from PAC Nor put on it. I had a 2.5-10x56 Trijicon Accupoint mounted, and I have an AB Raptor in 338.


I would like to sling this in a manner that I can be walking with it hands free and have it ready to pull up fairly quickly if I do see a deer. I like two point slings on ARs, with the rifle across my chest pointed down and to the left.

I could put Grove Tec flush QD sling pockets into the stock, drilled, tapped, and epoxied in. This seems like the best option, but looking for other suggestions I might not be considering.

A few options.

1) AR style, with right side rear attachment and left side forward (or mid) attachment. Use a padded quick adjust sling like a flatline for this.
2) My preference: remove sling studs entirely, and use Kifaru gun bearer.
3) Budget option: Leave slings on, use Boonie packer safari sling.
