Looking for a hunting sling for the sw mp10 in realtree. Is this possible or are all the slings for this tactical type only Rifle has a sling loop on the gas block and a loop on the stock. No QD links. I can't seem to find anything.

Any standard rifle sling should work & they have all kinds of flavors of camouflage out there. Attachment is the same for your sling as on any hunting rifle with sling attachments , if that's what your asking. 

 

 Check for Allen camo slings & there are others . There are slings out there with out the sewn in QR.

 

Even if you get a tactical , get it FDE, OD Green or Foliage green, works just as well & most of the tactical slings are made better than commercial & of course cost a little more . I just picked up a Magpul MS1 sling in FDE & its a quick adj. sling & also has loose sling ends for threading the loops , as with most Tactical slings .

Thanks for the input guys. This for my son in laws MP10. He wants a hunting type sling where I would be fine with a tactical. V-tac is good but not what he wants. I mounted his scope today and made sure the cg was lubed. I have a DPMS myself that runs perfect. I really like the SW mp10 but not enough to sell my DPMS...maybe enough to sell my M1A. Then again can you ever have enough 308's. The absolute best caliber ever made.

Definitely have him try a bunch of padded types. I would hate to hump mine all over the place hunting without a padded sling. I've run it a few times with an ms4 and it sucks for hiking. Really digs into you with the rifle weight.

those are nice unforgiven it's what I'd go for. He is on a hog hunt in Fl with it now and will most likely pick something up at Bass Pro. I usually don't hunt so I don't fool with slings unless it comes with a used gun purchase. When I did hunt years ago I would use something with QD's as all my then hunting rifles had them. These days lots of calibers on the AR platform to hunt with and who want a sling that digs in. Thanks a lot guys.

I think I have to get one of these for myself. I have more than a few 308's. May have to get rid of something else to add this. It is much lighter than all of mine except my Rem 742 bdl. Those are lighter but don't shoot as well.

I like it better than my FAL and M1A1. M LR308 is a keeper but much heavier and longer. The Ruger 77xl SS bull barrel is probably my most accurate but it is a bench rifle and very heavy but oh so smooth. I hate even thinking about selling a 308. Maybe something else can go.

I'm interested in a sling as well, and haven't had a chance to examine all of these recommendations - any of them all plastic? I was hoping to find something that was sans metal parts that would scuff or damage the gun as little as possible.
