I got a cheap nylon thing thats slow to adjust so pretty much only good to carry rifle and not very confy to wear. I want a quick adjust sling so i can use it as a shooting aid (and learn to use) and also something confortable to carry around.
 
Tech-Sights.com has the USGI web slings. Best sling ever invented.

We use these at Appleseed shoots all the time; because they're versatile in that you can do three different sling types for shooting aids.
 
What part of the country do you reside?

The web sling is the best of two worlds; comfortable to carry and awesome for a shooting aid.
 
Im looking for versaility i need it to be able to be used with a hunting rifle but i need to be able to shoot with my .22 also since you know im broke and all.
 
I've played around with a lot of different slings before settling on the Viking Tactics VTAC sling as my favorite. It's a simple 2-point sling, but it's got the ability to make a quick adjustment for carry, support, etc. I keep two of them on QD swivels, one for my AR and another for the sling studs on my shotgun, rimfire, hunting rifle, etc. And if you wanted more comfort they've got a nice padded one as well. Give it a look for yourself. :cool:
 
G.I. cotton web sling. Midway has them in black and green for around 15 bucks. The cotton carries well and the sling can be used in loop as well as hasty. I would not reccomend a padded sling of any kind if the sling is to be used as a shooting aid as the padding generally gets in the way.
 
IDF gear

Check out Zahal.com for a good selection of combat slings as used by IDF (Israel Defence Forces). I have one of their 2-pt. "Sayeret" slings on my Mini-14. This makes a good carry or hasty sling, but I frankly haven't yet figured out how to loop up with it.
 
I'll second the VTAC slings. Simple, light, durable, and the quickest adjustable sling I have ever used. I have three of them, with a little looking you can find them for around $25.
 
I have several of the quake claw slings like the last poster mentioned and they work real well. Especially on a heavy barrel rifle. The heavier barrel tends to make the gun want to slide back if your shouldering it with the muzzle up. The rubber claw sling grips real well. Another one that I really like is just the plain Browning nylon slings. There made where you can put both straps over your shoulder kind of like a back pack or just over one shoulder. They adjust quickly. Really helpful on long walks. I had one on the gun I used in Africa and it saved my shoulder made it a breeze to lug around for miles. My PH kept commenting on how much he liked it. I bought one for him and mailed it to him after I got back.
 
Does appleseed require a centerfire also? My centerfire is a 357 carbine and not much good beyond 50 yards (open sights are not the most porecise thing.) Ive got a .22 also, but it seems they want one of each? Funds are a bit tight to start going out buying up guns.
 
.22's work great!!!
We only allow .22-8mm calibers so your .22 will be your only option. We have loaner rifles most of the time.
