1873 Rifle slings

Now that I have a Uberti 1873 Short Rifle, I would like to "sling it" occasionally for hunting. What do those of you, among the 1873 rifle "clan", use for a sling? I would prefer methods that would preclude drilling holes my stock, but would appreciate any suggestions that would work and are within your "acceptable good taste" of the "cowboy" genre

I'm thinking a leather boot on the stock and a magazine swivel with the sling of your choice between them!

jager3,

A friend gave me this sling several years ago. I don't know where he got it and there is nothing on it to indicate who made it. It works pretty slick.

I got one like w30wcf has but all leather from Turnbull about a year ago for my 1886. Worked well last hunting season. He calls it the Quick Sling - http://www.turnbullmfg.com/catalog.asp? ... prevnext=1

Btw, very nice rifle there w30wcf.

Thanks for the advice and great examples of the type of slings that will fit right in with the "classic" good looks of the 1873.
