Leather slings look and smell good but are not nearly as practical as a Cordura nylon.
The op has a wood stock on his 7mag so an old school traditional leather sling would look more appropriate however. |

It’s interesting to me how many folks just want an old school leather carry strap with the slipping off shoulder, shoulder shock and poor hasty sling all built in!
I hate to say it, but the military/prs has figured this out. I use the long quick adjustable 2pt adjustable slings on all hunting rifles. I am also pretty happy with my TSI Quick Cuff. When I get my next sling, I think it will be a LRI FTW sling. Look at how it slings up and supports shooting! https://youtu.be/RMGMy4l2HfQ |

All rifle have a 1-inch military leather sling, most shotguns now have a M1 Carbine sling to hang the shotgun over thr head. to allow hands to be free.

There's a guy on eBay selling what he says are Amish made leather goods. I bought a couple of his slings and they were so well made, I bought a couple belts. Sorry I don't remember his user name.
I have a bunch of slings all on QD release swivels so I just grab the one I want at the moment. The 2 leather ones I mentioned went one on mine and the other on my grandson's .45-70 single shots... Tony |
