I have a Kimber-built VZ-24 Mauser in 7mm Rem. Mag. with a 25'' barrel that's too heavy to carry normally with a sling. The rifle tips backward. The sling stud has to be moved forward, perhaps onto a barrel band. Here's the rub: the barrel is fluted, Would a band still look okay or should I find some other way to solve this problem. Tried one of those Safari Slings; nice idea but.....
