    Since I found that spec of rust on my Kimber Eclipse barrel and freaked out and stripped all of my firearms and cleaned them, I have a few optics that need to be sighted in as well...We should work on a get-together.:yesway:

    Get the slings and don't worry about sighting it in. If you can get it on target at 25 yrds you will be close. You will adjust it at the appleseed as you learn what you are doing.

    OK, that was kinda what I was figuring. I didn't want to show up completely unsuited to participate, but also didn't want to miss out just because I thought I had to have everything done before I went, so that's why I asked. (Yay INGO!)

    Any suggestions on what kind of slings to get? The SKS has hooks, but the 10/22 doesn't. I won't need to replace the stock to get one with hooks just so I can use a sling, will I?

    I think they recommend the GI sling.
    They make sling swivels that screw into your wood stock.

    Just plain surplus GI web slings work great. I used the stock sling that came with the old Colt SP1. It wasn't the best, but it worked.
    On my 10/22, we were able to Jerry-rig (no pun intended :rolleyes:) a loop sling attatched/tied to the forend of the stock. My 10/22 has one of the "boat paddle" style stocks and I didn't want to drill it for sling studs. Granted, the loop sling wasn't the best, but it worked in a pinch. I would suggest buying some sling studs and quick detatch swivels and install them in the 10/22.

    This makes me wish I had (or was able to have) something in town I could shoot...
