RE: rifle slings
Everyone has an opinion. Here is mine. I prefer the 1" wide leather military slings that you can commonly find from the big time hunting mail order catalogs. One thing to note is that the weight of a hunting rifle bearing down on that relatively narrow 1" wide sling will cause the sling to bite down into your garments and stay in place; a wider sling distributes the weight more evenly and makes it more likely the rifle sling will slide off your shoulder to the side.
