Good Functioning Sling
I really like how these slings function. Bought my first one 20 or so years ago. This is my fourth one. The first 3 I would give 5 stars. This one gets 4 stars, I wouldn't call this one "tan" color. It's way to light, I would say very very light tan.
Still using one after twenty years...
I purchased a single Latigo sling twenty years ago. It has been the sling I take into the woods every year regardless of which rifle I choose to use for hunting season. I've applied saddle oil to it every year and has worked just fine. It has been soaking wet, stained with sweat, frozen solid, and baked in the sun... and it still does what I expect it to do without issue. I've never had any problems with the single brass screw and the rough side of the leather still does it's job of keeping the sling where you set it. It may not be good for a target shooter, but it is good as a no-nonsense hunting sling.
good sling
Just like one we had on a 22 when I was a kid. I suggest you try the length out before you cut. I find leaving them long allows for carrying across the body, even though it means you can't quite fully retract the sling into a taut position against the rifle. I also recommend some leather treatment (I used Kenetrek) before assembly when it is easier to apply.
Great Sling But
In the directions it explains how to measure between the swivles and then cut the tag end. You should have that as the last directive so the person can try the full length of the sling. With heavy clothes this is how I would prefer it especially because I am a big guy. It's to tight to sling across body for me based on this part of the instructions. You can always adjust the tag location and cut off as a last step. Needless to say I have to buy another one.
Great sling directions need care
Would have given it 5 stars but for the directions. The way it tells you to measure and cut to length does not work if you have long arms. My sling is too short for prone now. Test before cutting!!! As for usage. This sling is great to give you a solid shooting position. All the benefits of a military sling without all the hassle
