I have read a ton about different slings l have a Remington 700 20 inch 308 with a Manners T4a stock with the cups on the left side of the stock l need advice on a top of the line sling for it that would help me in shooting and maybe something with a little padding. if the better slings do not have padding then thats fine also.

Thank you
 
Re: Looking for a top of the line sling please help...

If you buy one of the slings from TAB (like listed by Tony) or one of the TIS slings, you most likly will not need or miss padding. The webbing used by both TAB and TIS is almost 1.5" wide and is pretty soft. I dont have any rifles that are over 19 pounds, but I have never wanted padding, even when carrying one hunting all day...

As far as I know, Triad stocks all the TIS and TAB slings, you can find the listings here: http://www.triadtactical.com/Rifle-Slings/

The TAB vs. TIS discussion comes up about one a week, so Ill ask you to search for that info on your own.

You are about to get a lot of replies from people that favor one or the other.

Would be glad to help you out.

TIS makes the slings that are on alot of US Military Sniper Rifles.

TIS Pioneered the use of wide nylon in sling industry and several other innovations.

Give me a call if you want any info

TIS quick Cuff or the Vickers Combat Applications Sling.

I have shifted to the Vickers for all my uses now.

Recently picked up my first TAB and am very impressed. TIS is right there too for consideration.

Flip a coin as you can't go wrong with either.

I can't speak to the TIS slings but the TAB bi-athalon sling I got is sweet. It may be a bit too much for my needs and I may sell it for more normal style sling though. I would not hesitate a bit to order any sling made by TAB though.
