I typically limit my use of a sling to carrying purposes only, removing it immediately upon settling in for a deer hunt. Having never owned a break barrel weapon before, I'm concerned about the stress exerted to the locking mechanism (and all other tension points) if sling equipped. When I questioned a local gun store, they indicated that they normally suggest installing an Uncle Mike's version used for a 20 ga shotgun that includes a metal barrel clamp for the fore end and standard wood screw for the rear. Three questions;
1) does my concern over mechanical stress have any basis?
2) what method would you install the front sling attachment?
3) what brand / model carrying sling would you recommend?
