It really is amazing how a few inches of barrel change the handling of a rifle. With the sling wrapped around my arm this seems to hold rock steady (at least in my basement).[&:]We'll see how she does at the range.
The rifle is a DeerStalker so I took the thimble off the DS barrel and used the screw from the GM thimble to mount the sling thimble from the DS on the GM.
Now I'm confused. lol [
