I know it's not the hunting forum but I'm sure some guys use their chassis setup for hunting occasionally.
I ordered a christenson arms modern precision rifle and am wondering what kind of sling you guys are using when hunting? I'll be wearing a pack and my binos on my chest. Last season I carried my scar 17 with a quick adjust 2 point on a stalk with my daughter for her elk and once we got her up on the sticks with her gun I went to get my gun off and binos out and was wrapped up in everything from having the rifle slung across the front of me.
What kind of sling is there that you can make use of the qd points on the side but still allows you to shoulder sling the rifle if it's not strapped to your pack?
Appreciate it. I'm thinking I'm just overthinking things and just need to get used to carrying it with my pack and bino harness on and learn exactly how to manage all the bs lol.

Lol.
It's a handful. I do equipment shakedowns like I did in the army when I buy new gear to see how it works with the rest of my crap.
I would probably opt for something with sticky neoprene or silicone to keep it on my shoulder. I have also taken a liking to tucking my rifle under my left armpit with a two point around my neck. It keeps it away from my bino harness and pack straps.

I know you said in the 308 thread the other day you have been carrying an ar10 lately how are you carrying it? It's basically the same thing I'd think with non traditional sling setups compared to a regular bolt gun.

I use a VTAC padded around the neck at the low ready. When walking I move the rifle over to my left, and keep it under my left armpit. That keeps it out of the way, and I can access my binos, GPS, etc in my chest harness. When packing meat, it gets strapped to the pack.
Ok that makes a bunch more sense. I'll give that a try. Man it was a goat rope last year I had my binos wrapped up in the strap and all while trying to get my daughter setup lol. Thank goodness she has a few kills under her belt because I could not see anything that was happening lol
I use a savvy sniper 2/1 sling with qd's, if worse comes to worse you can pop a QD and the sling will pull under everything, or if you can reach it, it has a quick buckle on there rear that allows you to completely remove the rifle from the sling when set up as a single point...With that said, I normally don't pack this very far, body is to broken, but my buddy did pack it once to go after some caribou, said it worked fine for a heavy rifle...
