Ruck sack type sling

I/ have scanned through SD and most recommendations for these are now not available like the Z Aim, the Niggeloh one had crap reviews, are there any good slings out there that keep the rifle on your back and preferably stop bipods digging in to you back? i currently have a Niggeloh standard sling and whilst it is good at spreading the weight i find it slips round pointing the rifle at the guest behind you.
Any recommendations welcomed.
 
I have this Niggeloh sling


If you try to use it like it's pictured there, it doesn't work very well.

However, I bought it with a better idea in mind. Rather than wear one strap over each shoulder like a normal rucksack, I sling the rifle, muzzle-down, on my right shoulder as I would normally with a single sling. Then bring the second strap over your left shoulder so it goes across the front of your chest. You've then effectively got one cross-body sling and one normal sling, attached together. It's easy to do, because the straps have a side-release buckle in the middle, so you don't have to wriggle in and out, and you can release the cross-body one without taking the rifle off your shoulder. Holds the rifle securely, muzzle points neatly at the ground slightly to my right and doesn't have any extra gubbins in the way of the pistol grip or annoying straps wrapped around your body to faff with. The rifle still carries nicely with both straps on the same shoulder if you're anticipating needing quicker access.

I use a bono harness so wouldn’t want a strap across my front
 
I’ve got one, they’re very good. However side mounting with a biathlon sling is by far the most comfortable. I was out from dawn till dusk on Tuesday with a heavy rifle and didn’t feel fatigued (just bloody cold…!)
Looks good
