Hmmm...I have no idea of it's make. A dealer had it in his bargin bin and I thought it would work on the dinky carbine as it is elasticacated!
N.
I have two slings just like that. IIRC, they came with the 2 Winchester mdl64As I've owned. Then again, one mighta been with my 1st Rem 700 and the other w/my Marlin 375. Both have Uncle Mikes QD swivels an adjustment slide and ~1-¼" leather strap.

There is a fine line between hobby & obsession! AND... I'm over it!!
No I ain't ready, but let's do it anyway!
Beautiful photos. Looks like you got both the foreground and the sky properly exposed. That is not easy to do. Getting the sky properly exposed really enhances a photo.

Very nice, Nath! Always enjoy seeing photos of you and Tia and your successful hunts together! You Brits sure are lucky to have valets who you can bring along and call over to take your proud moment photos!
I have a question I've been wondering about for a long time and meaning to ask you: What game preserve to you hunt on??? I've never seen such abundance of small game in one place as you shoot every time you go out! Where I live in rural "New" Hampshire in "New" England there's no small game or bird hunting even remotely close to what you have...everyday!
Nice photos Nath, glad to see you have bunnies up there, I haven't seen one around here in over a year.
Anyway, your photos inspired me to take my 9422 for a walk in the woods but only for a bit of plinking.
I did shoot three squirrels the other day with my Cooey .410 just to keep my eye in.
Whatever you do always give 100%........... unless you are donating blood.

you keep sluggin' them GK....how is your son doing?
A lot of places on my new ground are not ideal for rabbit and only a few struggle to survive there however I am hopefull of more after nearly a year of removing about 16 fox's from there and counting! Most the area is wet clay kind of soil, they don't like that!

Jolly good hunting I'd say Old Chap!
Give beautiful Tia a pet from me!
Valets I quit bringing him along....too noisy! Then I discovered the self timer on the snapper!
It is no game reserve as such, I just keep shooting the preds and the small game get some peace so settle down here. It's akin to the old way of gamekeeping, working with nature and mildly tipping the balance in favour of game, a little, maybe!
Nath, GKJr is still trapping Grey Squirrels in Northumberland, he has also been shooting a lot with some awful precharged air rifle he and his new bride came to visit a couple of weeks ago, it was good to do a bit of Pigeon shooting with him again. Thanks for asking.....
