Montefeltro - Question about SBE II Sling

[calwidgeon]

Montefeltro,

 

Can you recommend a sling that will fit the SBE II?

Is there a particular sling swivel that fits?

 

Word is out that the Uncle Mike swivels that are on so many slings do not fit the stock swivel mount.

 

I need a sling for the season but don't know which to buy.

While purchasing my SBEII, the gun shop sold me the Butler Creek Rifle Sling in Black. The UPC code is 51525 81013

 

This model has:

• Uncle Mike's QD Super Swivels size 1"
• Shock Absorption
• Quiet Silent Pad
• Non Slip Grippers to keep the gun on your shoulder
• Quick Adjustment Strap

The clips fit on my SBEII. By fit, I mean that I have put the sling on my SBEII to see that the sling clips fit on the gun. However, I did not keep the sling on the gun nor carry the gun with the sling.

 

So I cannot vouch for the comfort or tell you if there would be any issues when carry the gun.

 

I could not find the exact model matching the UPC label from my sling, however, I believe the links below are the same one I own.

 

In the pictures from the links below, my sling is the far left one in black with three large loops. I cannot see any difference between the Rifle and Shotgun other than the price.

I used my sling that came with my rem 1187 that I traded it work great

I purchased a Final Approach sling that includes Uncle Mike swivels that do not fit the SBE II.

 

No problem with the magazine cap, but the swivel will not close on the attachment point on the stock.

 

Last week I noticed that the older Uncle Mike swivel are slightly different than the new one on the sling I just purchased.

 

I am still looking for one that fits...

Bought the padded super sling from Cabela's. It fits perfectly. It uses "Talon Swivels" and they fit as well. Just wanted to let everyone know so they don't have any problems.

The Talon Swivels are sold individually by Cabela's as well. They are made by the Outdoor Connection. Could always replace uncle Mike's with Talon.

I had three different swivels that did not fit the SBE2. Seems the stud is too short.

 

I finally found an uncle mikes one that will work but its steel. I don't like metal cause it will rust and usually use plastic, but oh well it works.
