New rifle (Rem 700 Bushpig) about to be ordered in the next few weeks. After a new gunbag and sling for it.
Gunbag needs decent padding, full length zip, and decent pockets for bolt, box of ammo, etc. Prefer plain colour black or brown. Any ideas?
Gun sling prefer synthetic, non stretchy and compact when packed down. Again any ideas?
Allen make some decent gun bags
Aliexpress
Allen does a 40mm quick adjust nylon sling kind of based on the US 1907 sling . When its fully extended It's just right to get my elbow through the front loop to lock things up really tight.
What's the deal with that? Is it safe would you say?Quote:

Yes. Aliexpress holds the payment and doesn't release it to the seller until you've confirmed the goods have arrived.Quote:

I have one of the soft waterproof plano cases, has performed well for me so far.
Thanks for the replies. Is the Allen gear good to go?
I have a mate that custom makes bags out of PVC, Just getting a quote for someone else. If you are keen then PM me

The sling was.Supplied with it's own swivels. Really good if you have a few rifles you like but can't be bothered getting slings for all of them.Quote:

Make a DIY Frank Proctor sling. I made mine out of bits i had lying around and it took about 25 min to make 2. Then all you need is your sling swivel/ mounting points fixed to the rifle
JonP, drawing from the memories of my old man from about fifty five years ago, a blanket and about three foot six of baling twine will see you right in a pinch. Tie the baling twine from the barrel to the waist of the butt and then wrap up in the blanket. May not sound flash but my old man used to reckon the blanket will keep you warm if you get caught out and have to over night in the bush and the baling twine has a number of uses from trussing up the legs to pack out an animal, to emergency tourniquet and untwining the fibres for tinder.
You are not likely to find this combo in any Gun City or H&F store. Smaller places like "Rushy's Rough and Ready" will carry them though.
Bailer twine, the greatest agricultural invention, more uses than a Swiss army knife
