870

I've not toted an 1100 anywhere. But I've hauled an 870 Lord knows how many miles in the past 35 years chasing spring gobblers. I've never met a "hunter" that was interested in a patrol carry type sling, except maybe me when hunting aloft from a climbing treestand.

For shotgun afoot, my standard for long years has been some slings I made up from SKS green web. Got some very standard sling swivels and had them sewn on the webbing, with a single slide and a buckle for conventional adjustment. cheap.
The shotgun got a stud in the buttstock and one in the magazine cap, I think both the studs and the swivels were Uncle Mikes.

The sling comes off easy when pass shooting and flushing game, or setting up on a gobbler. It clips on and allows for shoulder carry when just hoofing it. Often I sling it muzzle down, diagonally across my back, or same way but parallel the ground (it rides upside down at that point) if on an open woods road and not really hunting.
