    Thumbs up Fitting a sling to Mfr

    Now i know i've asked this question before guys
    but i've finally decided to go ahead with doing it!
    Are the swivels Theoben sell (the 1 with the coller) for the above rifle any good?
    If not what do you use Nick, Marcus?

    Arrow

    The clamp fitted to the barrel shroud plus a stud screwed into the wood in the normal place is fine. I used QR swivels with this method as they are the neatest anyway.

    I had the same dilema.After doing a lot of searches on the subject & speaking to BT I opted for the Theoben swivels & collar which fits on the barrel shroud.No problem so far & I got the Theoben cobra leather sling at he same time.
    At the end of the day if the manufacturer of the rifle designs & then markets a product its got to be ok imo.

    I put a stud into the woodwork at the front just there. It looks odd in the photo as it's fitted with the attachment for a B-Square bipod.
