I have the same one, is legit.

I'll take a pic tonight. You may or may not save any money on it buying it in Sweden. You can always buy it when you come back

I agree with folks who said make one, you don't even need a sewing machine.
I wouldn't use 25mm webbing though, 38mm or 32mm webbing is better, more comfortable, 38mm doesn't fit too well in standard sling studs but 38mm does.
I've got a padded sling which I never use anymore, was a good make, but I find the pad is never in the right spot, so a nice wide piece of webbing is more useful/comfortable.

I hardly use a sling but when I do 1" webbing is fine. After all a rifle doesn't weight that much.

for some reason (maybe the rolled edge) tubular webbing is much nicer on the shoulder than anything else the same size. I carried my 14 lb Ruger PR up to 1800m (before it went on a diet) and it was fine on 26mm stuff.

I picked up a couple of m16 slings. 10 bucks each
Light and strong and quiet

I wouldn't ever go without a sling, I even put one on my shotgun if I'm not shooting from a Maimai.
Any time I shoot with a mates rifle and it doesn't have a sling, I find i'm wishing I had one more often than not.

Maybe just depends what you are used to, first rifle I owned had a sling, when shooting as a kid my dads gun always had a sling.
Now that I have discovered the benefits of a decent 2 point shooting sling, I will never be without a sling.
