Strongest QD Sling Swivels

I have a Bergara HMR 6.5 Creedmoor and I fancy using the 'sling swivel cups' (instead of the studs) for the QD swivels.

Don't want to buy cheap rubbish in case they pop out and smash the rifle! Can you recommend a robust set that I can trust?!

We could buy/fit any but prefer Grovtec. Especially for our application the 9/16 outside thread will give umpteen times the strength of other versions. No glue will run in through the side holes. Use the limited rotation version. Made of stainless. This is the version Halder should have copied instead of the one they copied. For OEM stock we get asked to fit Halder but refuse as we'd have to fix if the let go. The one we initially fitted needed to be re-work..... from the packet no function.
We do however have a set of Halder sling attachments to check that our stocks with Grovtec flush cups also take them. Slightly different tolerances.

Definitely go for the limited rotation ones - see my post on the S20. Standards are a real pain as the slings will always twist.

 
My pal in Germany had a set of this type that dumped his expensive rifle/scope down the edge of a hill caused mucho damage.
It does not matter which manufacturer, QD or swivel stud, things can go wrong. QD are sensitive to dirt and rust. Most refuse to put a drop of oil on any gun part. It could attract dirt.... That's what you get for neglect. The flush cup type with the four holes drilled through the side are more tricky than the type with the milled internal ring/sections. Mixing manufacturers between the parts, flush cup and sling attachment is not the best idea either. Best is to go for something that is mil spec and tested.
