Ruger 10/22 sling recommendation

[roisigns]

I need help selecting sling swivels for my 10/22 with wood stock. Any suggestions?

Please buy the kind that has the front attach to the barrel band.

Like this:

Don't do this:

And please measure some stocks and place the rear stud in a decent spot. I've seen too many too close to the buttplate, or way too far up the stock.

(yes, it's a major peeve of mine, seen many a nice, I mean really nice, wood stock ruined due to such sloppy workmanship).

I don't consider mine ruined;

Well if wanting a sling and no barrel band.........there's only one stock to be had IMHO...........(not mine but I used to have one).
Non quick detach though.

Check out Brownells. There are several excellent options available from simple screw in studs to more elaborate ones that are inletted into the stock.

Uncle Mikes sling swivels. Online at many places or go to Bradis II. I disagree with using the band for the sling swivel. I run a pretty tight sling and that band is plastic. It might break while firing the rifle. Yeah, I ruined my stock and that sling swivel is not coming out accidentally. I can live with it.

I would recommend the 1" or 1 1/4" GI web sling from the Tech Sights website. Also recommended by Project Appleseed
Cheap and good quality
I would not use the stud that attaches to the barrel band. The band is usually too loose. Just use the screw in type with some epoxy.

Buy a cheap replacement and use it instead. Then if you decide to pass this on you'll have a nice one to go with it.

While a different stud setup might be better for some applications, their position will decrease resale value of the item.

But a birch 10/22 stock is cheap, so mod away.

I wouldn't do that to an original walnut one.
