Hopefully it's not too cumbersome to carry once I get a sling on it.

I don't know if you already have something, and they're a little pricey for what they are, but I enjoyed using this sling on my silenced Rem 700 .308Win last year after a couple not so great "slippers."


Viking Tactics VTAC PES Ultra Light Sling

Thanks, I just bought a sling a few hours ago. I like the Hush stalker I already have, and bought something similar for my new rifle. On those rubber slings, I slice a slit in a thin spot and put a shotgun primer in there (for muzzleloader) and they've stayed for years now.

RE scope height above bore:

Measure Objective @Blue circle/2
Barrel (measure across pink circle)/2
gap (Orange lines)

Add them up and there's your height above bore. Easy way to measure center of bore (pink circle) to center of scope reticle (blue circle) needed for ballistics calculations.

Example:

46/2 = 23
30/2 = 15
Gap = 14

Height above bore = 5.2cm = 2.05in.

The beads are pretty accurate but the fun is in launching nonuniform shaped objects(small rocks) and trying to guess which way they are going to curve.

Been practicing for about a month, beads on steel sound pretty cool and the dog has figured out that if I bring it out that there are rabbits near by.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7e81341161.jpg

Youngest daughter shot a TP9SF and decided to buy it. I shot hers and decided to buy a TP9SFX. Really like the Warren Tactical sights.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...97b41b4dcd.jpg

Also useful for home defense...against flickers. Damn birds are smart enough to know if I just walk outside a white ball of pain will be heading their way; don't even have to draw anymore. Never actually hit one but have been close and it makes a good noise against the wood siding.

Glass slingshot ammo. Betcha marbles are much cheaper, even after painting them white

If you want to have a lot of fun without worrying about getting glass everywhere, pick up a container of paint balls. They're uniform so they shoot consistently and splatter enjoyably when you hit a target. Also, no cleanup.

Just arrived today https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ac18a2e30a.jpg
