Hi All,
Could someone recommend an option for fixing the sling on my shotgun which really really pokes me in the shoulder blade? Everything I've been able to find shows the sling stud on the lower part of the butt. Mine is a 870 with Hogue stock (like to top right photo here: http://www.getgrip.com/main/overview/shotgun.html)
the front is attached by a slot/side mount similar to this: http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=...-TECHNOLOGIES-REMINGTON-LEFT-SIDE-SLING-MOUNT
It is supposed to lay flat on my body, but I find the butt is twisted to an uncomfortable angle and just won't stay on my shoulder and/or really pokes me. I'm ready to get another sling stud and just drill a new hole in the left side of the stock. I guess the sling is quick release, I'm not sure exactly what it is since it was a gift. It seems silly to have to drill for a new stud since there's one right there, but since the quick release part is then 90 degrees shotgun's length, it just isn't working. I like the sling, it adjusts quickly though.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance
