Ruck sack type sling

[C&K Suffolk]

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.

Deer central sling

Push button bases on the side of the rifle stock and a TAB Gear biathlon sling is what you’re after.

that looks about perfect, Grovtec are sold out of the hollow stock QD cups, but I did manage to order one from Brownells (spits) I'm sure I only need one kidney.

Not sure I could bring myself to drill holes in my stock

some how it seems ok on a carbon stock. I keep replaying the crawl across the top of a Drumlin in my head, it would be so much easier with the rifle properly on my back. I'll post pics when I've installed it

The hollow stock installation is a cinch! The full screw in bases aren’t too bad and can be done with a hand drill, however a drill press makes life easier. Don’t install them too deep! The correct tools can be found on Amazon:

Bought a sling from Deer Central, fingers crossed it looks like it holds the rifle high enough that the bipod will clear my shoulder

Try attaching the sling to the side of the stock instead.

What do you mean exactly by this?

Fit the sling to the side of the stock,looks better if you use flush cups

Now I’m with you. Need to mount a fixing to the side. Cheers

Always cringed at the thought of butchering a stock to do this. Bought a magpul bipod and it hasnt dug into my back atall as bad as a Harris ever did. I use the deer central version of the z aim sling and it's fantastic, can scale gates without it moving out of place.

I use Niggeloh slings, I actually have 2 of them, I think they are great. No issues at all. Nb. Mine is muzzle down as well. And side ways mounted.

All my rifles have them, set up correctly and they are no bother.

Every time I used one it squeaked where it attached to the swivel, no matter what I tried it still made a noise, comfy but irritating

Mine gets silicone grease on the pin.

Many many years ago, in Huntley scotland, the same man who made my rucksack then also whittled me out a harness type sling that goes over/around the stock and clips on the forend as normal to allow the rifle to lay on your back and not in it, so much more comfortable when you've a mile or two to go with a Roe in the sack and rifle across your chest

It was the sling squeaking, the leather part, I could never get it to stop, shame as it was such a comfy sling
