Did you buy in NZ or order from US @Smiddy?

Likewise - could be interested.

I wonder if a bulk deal could be arranged with the seller and an order processed so that is lands in NZ under the magical $400 mark. I'm happy to help out where I can @GWH if you need a hand etc.

And with that sling and my bino harness on as well, I would look like a flat chested sheila wearing 2 sports bra's.

+1 hate slings badly.

I often take mine off when in bush but it's handy to have in case you need both hands

Because your flash harry packs have auto loaders on them and shoot for you

I couldn't hunt half the country I do without a sling.
I have a scabbard in my pack but having the rifle in that will kill you by tipping you ass over tit over some of the terrain.
It must be some cruisey hunting not to need one.

My slings have qd swivels and take 5 secs to remove and put in day bag or pack when not needed. Simples.

North island mate you fall off either side of the hill and your landing in a paddock.

Fair enough. I am also used to never putting my firearm down anywhere.
Either carry it or sling it.
If you ever were caught with it further than arms reach in the Army, bad things happen. So it became habit to have it on me wherever I went.

Ok, i have emailed the manufacturer and await response - Will update when i hear back.

Had one years ago and just gave it away last year to a mate.
It worked well and stay on the shoulder with out slipping off and takes the shock out of heavy rifles when rock hopping.
The down side is the rubber chaffed my neck when only wearing singlet or something else without a collar and does tend to bounce on the shoulder with a heavy rifle. Twice the sling swivel screws unscrewed resulting with the rifle and scope on the rocks on a climb. So gave it the ass after that debacle. I only really like slings for climbing or walking in or out and now prefer quick release slings for the tight bush stalking.

Yep I'd be in too for a couple at least.

Are these not quick release?

Looks like its not QD but could be swapped for QD mount easy enough

What's the update on these? Bulk order? Am keen..

That looks pretty hand, could also be keen on a bulk order.
