My biggest issue with a lot of the slings I see is the use of plastic for the hardware. Plastic can break and it will happen at the worst possible time. I won't use a sling with plastic parts. I have been using a couple of old Uncle Mike's padded slings for over 30 years most of the time and like them. I finally found a neoprene sling with metal hardware made by Allen this year and will see if I like it. For my "pretty" guns I like to use a Brownells Latigo sling. It's essentially a leather super sling type sling and it looks good, even though it will slip on your shoulder a little.
I usually carry a rifle in my hands when walking to my stand and use a pull up rope in my treestands. I also like to take the sling off when I'm in a shooting house and like the quick detach swivels. I don't like the newer style swivels I see on a lot of the slings like the Claw.
R. H. - that sling you posted looks like a good one except in the pictures on their site it looks like the buckle is plastic. Is this correct?

I like the butler creek slings, comfortable and durable.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

I am a carry my rifle in my hands kinda guy or better on a pack, scabbard on a horse, etc. if I am out west. I don't care which kind as long as I can adjust it quickly on the fly. I take all the slack out of it when I get in a shooting house or up a tree hanging on a hook so it isn't dangling or hanging loose.. A lot of times I don't mess with a rope to pull up my gear I just adjust sling so it will go around bandoliero style and climb up the ladder or sticks. When I get up there I take the slack out so I don't have a sling dangling.

I have two claws and a redhead. The claw on the xbow is mandatory.

I have a couple of the butler creek that will hold 4 rifle cartridges I like them a lot. I also have an adjustable browning sling. It's not as "comfortable " but I like being able to adjust the slack when not carrying it. So you won't hang it on stuff

Got several Claws. They work as advertised
Wiley made a good point on the safari sling to keep the rifle out front
But my favorite? Handmade thumbhole sling

I like the Claw slings the best of the ones I have tried.

Safari Sling. Keeps my weapon in front of me at all times. I have 'em for every rifle or swap to them when I go to the woods. I picked one of these up on your recommendation and I like it. It is really nice on the heavy barreled rifles and like you said the gun is at the ready. It is comfortable with a backpack as well. Thank You!

I like to take my sling off on stand; so something with quick release swivels like the Outdoor Connection Super Sling works for me. The OC Super Sling is my go-to. I never take mine off my rifle, so our reasons are different. I just like the fact that it's simple, and quiet.

It is really nice on the heavy barreled rifles and like you said the gun is at the ready. It is comfortable with a backpack as well. Thank You! You're welcome! I remember recommending to someone on here and told them that I'd buy it from them at their cost, including shipping, if they didn't like it. But then, I've recommended them to everybody looking for a sling.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.
