The sling I've gone to for all my single shots and my Henry lever actions is sold by Browning (made in Canada). It's a leather slide arrangement on a simple 1 inch sling, there's no metal, other than the swivels, so it won't mar the receiver, and it's also quite light. I don't recall the model name, number, etc., and the only place I've ever seen them is in Superior Wisconsin, at Shooter's Supply (I recently bought one for my Son-in-Law's .308 ss. That's not much help, I know, but at least they're out there. Someone else must have 'em ;) .

Update: The sling is called the "Six Mile Leather Sling", but now is shown as being discontinued. I'd better pick up another spare next time I'm in Superior :) .

OR buy the Tandy Leather Sling Kit for $19.99 and do it yourself!

I still have mine that gets used on several rifles from back when the kit cost something like $4.79 I think!

I got myself a Montana all leather sling that has a sliding adjustment built into it. It is a leather knot of some type and it is real handy while hunting. The sling looks great on mine. I also added a leather loop lever handle wrap from Hellhound Leather. Together they look great on the my Henry BBS 44M!

its been interesting to look at the really nice slings in the links already provided in this thread .... it sure doesn't take much effort to tie up some $$$ .... historically, the only time I attach a sling is when I'm hunting .... I've never bought an expensive one and don't anticipate doing so but have enjoyed looking
